Isn't there at least some form of regular testing of diskless boot when using network based installs? On x86 they run from a RAM disk, true, but on SPARC they still run from an NFS root. Not that you were able to use the more esoteric functions of IP: routing and such needs to be simple for it to bootstrap. Casper
