hmm as far as I know the S/N is dependent on the special S/N written in
block of BIOS (onboard flash) of the intel motherboard. That
number is compared with the key during the boot....

They used http://www.VxWorks.com as a platform for Cache Engines, LD and
perhaps for pix also .... For instance, for CE, bootstrap
is checking the MB serial and also HDD rom versions... if they are not valid
(made for cisco) then software is not loaded
