IBM PCs, even into the PS/2 days, would boot into Cassette BASIC if you didn't have a floppy drive or boot disk inserted: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_BASIC
My high school had the PS/2 Model 25 SX, introduced in 1992, without hard drives. All of the software ran off of a Novell NetWare file server, but required a bootable floppy disk. If you removed the floppy disk, they would boot into the built-in BASIC from the machine's ROM.

For Cockroach, it could help substantially with latency for multi-statement transactions, since the procedure could be executed on a database node closest to the leaseholder for the data. Executing a multi-statement transaction on the client means incurring per-statement latency between the client and gateway node, and between the gateway node and the leaseholder.
