BTW, inre: your question about other systems that boot from CDROM: BeOS for the PowerMac boots from CDROM. So do all Compaq machines that support the "JumpStart(tm)" OS installation disks. Ultrix and VMS for various machines can also boot off a CDROM, and I would be surprised if DEC UNIX didn't keep this feature, moving forward.
