If you have a serial card (like the apple super serial card) you can
boot the machine over serial and image over a boot disk to use later.
look for ADT in the various versions. Here's one for that handles other
prodos devices too:
http://adtpro.sourceforge.net/
In short, you hook up another computer to the serial card. you enter
IN#2 so that you can control the machine over serial, then you send a
text file with the ADT apple app over which enters itself in hex in the
apple debugger.
Note: this can also be done over an audio link as if you were a cassette
loader. I've not tried this. The serial version has worked well for me.
