It's not so hard to summarise the key characteristics of diskless booting:
the only thing noteworthy about a diskless boot is the means of obtaining
a network identity, loading the OS and of mounting a NFSroot (even that
is optional, you could elect to run off ramdisk). You can even (horrors)
mount a disked FS or disked swap partition once booted.
