Peeps, If you make the boot process too complicated and it stops being "load kernel via flash/NFS, boot" then people may just not bother. :-) I know you're going for correctness and we're hampered by how "linux does things', but I really do suggest that you first get working, packaged, easily installed and updated systems using what we currently heave before you try to make a 'much nicer but noone ever uses it' solution. Please don't fall down the trap of "over-engineering correctness that noone will ever use." that software people do when they don't have deliverables. 2c, Adrian
