Share the CD-ROM on the server. Boot the client with a network bootdisk. Map a drive to the shared CD from the client. Change to that drive on the client and ensure you're inside the \i386 folder on the CD and then type the following command:
winnt

Well, if you don't have a floppy you could always make a bootable CD-ROM that's network capable. Some more research on the web will help you find what you need.

Or, you could get a USB floppy drive and use it. They're not that expensive.
