Network boot disk to access NT Server

Any guru out there who can tell me how to make a network boot disk so that I can access CD ROM from NT Server on my network.
I don't have CD ROM install on my local machine and would like to install Windows on my machine copying files from NT Server.

I did (a long time ago) make a network boot disk. It required me to systematically remove any extra files for DOS networking until it would fit on a floppy. Then a friend of mine used .zip files and a RAM disk to decompress into the RAM disk and do the network access. A MUCH neater way to do it. He won't be back in work for a few days, but if you can't figure it out on your own still...I'll post his method up here. It shouldn't be too terribly bad assuming you have an NT CD (which allows you to create a DOS network disk) and pk*zip and the like.
