Sounds like getting PXE working will be the way to go, but if there's an OS on there now you can drop an installation boot image on the hard drive.
You'll be in the same situation again if you ever need to boot with a rescue disk. What I've done to be proactive is I put a little 20MB mini-distro as an initramfs on /boot. That way in the future if I can't boot the OS I have the initramfs based mini-distro as rescue environment.
