How many machines do you need to wipe?
I was going to reply that if you can PXE boot these machines you can run
the 'dd' command at the ramdisk stage.
The main drawback would be that this would be dangerous if the boot
machine was connected to the main LAN - not good to wipe everyones PC in
the morning! And you'd have to alter the boot order in the BIOS.
