I use etherboot to boot my router from a more accessible server. No moving
parts in my router at all! Does require a bootrom on the router's ethernet
card, though.

The Linux Router Project (at www.linuxrouter.org) is a good starting point
for a single floppy based router. I believe that it can be easily be
configured
to support Aironet cards, but I haven't done it myself.
