There is no Boot Camp supported ROM released for the xserve because it
is a server and is not supposed to be running anything but Mac OS X,
this is also why PC operating systems such as linux live cds will not
boot on them as only boot camp compatible roms contain the pc bios
emulation code necessary to do so
