diskless wearable?

Hi!

I was wondering if anyone could help me out here. I'm working on a project
in college (WPI), where we have to build a Network based video surveilence
system. Unlike some systems which use a camera that has inbuilt networking
capabilities, we have to build a general purpose computaion node
( A really small computer that you can plug a cameraor two or as a
matter of fact any other device into).  Because of the  small form factor
and a PC compatible architecture we deceided to use a PC104 system. Because of
various other advantages we deceided to use run linux on the box. Well as
you can see this is very similar to wearables except for two things 1) No
HMD and keyboard even though you should be able to plug one in and 2)No
Disk (will use a Solid State one instead). 

So I was wondering if there is anyone out there who got linux to boot  on 
a pc104 through a solid state disk or through netboot (or anyother
loader). Or if there are any better solutions I'd love to know about them.
