I still have dreams of a "Suspend" mode that could be resumed from installation media, and get FreeBSD up and running on a new system in 30 seconds or less. It could also be used as a checkpoint/recovery mechanism to get a hot spare server up and running in about the same amount of time, assuming you can burn an image of the server you want to replicate to a CDROM, beforehand.
