DECstation bootable off RZ5x (650meg) disks?

I'm interested in buying a 650meg single or 2-pack for our DECsystem server
(DECsystem 3100 is no more than a graphics-less DECstation 3100, correct?)

The server supports DECstation 3100's and 2100's.

The salesmen believe the RZ56 (650 meg guts of RZ5x-DA, RZ5x-FA boxes)
is NOT SUPPORTED as a boot device -- is this a real barrier or 
something easily overcome?  

I can opt to keep a 300meg disk as root if that's preferable. 
Then all client roots would have to fit on 300meg as well...

thanks...
