not much chances there, because running an OS, obviously means you need a
partition to run it on...
the only thing I can think of is installing NetwareNFS on the server, and
boot the stations with a different set of diskettes which loads the
kernel, and attaches to the server very much like the slackware NFS
install. those disks must be able to load a root image into the memory
(have at LEAST 8 megs on a station!), then run amd and yp if you want
students to connect from all stations etc. or have each student carry his
own pair of diskettes...
good luck :-)
