This might be part of the answer you're looking for

http://www.realweasel.com/intro.html

"The PC Weasel provides the answer by emulating a video board and keyboard 
and presenting a serial port to the outside world. Plugged into an 
available ISA or PCI slot, it takes the characters written by your CPU into 
its "video" memory and pumps them out its onboard RS-232 port. Characters 
input by you into the RS-232 port are converted into keyboard scan codes 
and presented to the motherboard's keyboard connector."

Once booted you should be able to network X (as mentioned in other posts to 
this thread)
