You write the card out with Configurator then set your DHCP scope options accordingly to network boot.
Think of the SD Card part as a PXE Boot ROM extension.
There is a gotcha though; the RPi Foundation don't worry about kernel compatibility so as things move forward with WTware, it is unfortunately required to re-visit even network boot RPi's to change their SD cards to a newer verion of that part of the code too. Hopefully @aka will be able to do something clever to have the RPi self-update this part on first boot when we upgrade the version in the Configurator at some point.
