You intend to flash the nic rom but
- You are testing your image before flashing it
- You can't flash all 200 clients today but they all have to work by
tomorrow at 08:00
The other 199 clients are configured via Etherboot; one exception
creates more admin work.
To centrally control menus, kernel images and parameters
You want to pull an initrd so that
- You are not limited to the size of a floppy
- You don't have to rewrite the floppy for every test of the initrd
- You pull a fresh root fs each time.
- You don't have to export any filesystems with no_root_squash
- You don't run NFS at all because it's hideously insecure
> You can still use dhcp to assign ip.
IP assignment is an almost trivial application of DHCP. Anyway, once
running the kernel behaviour is nothing to do with how you boot it.
