Why not PXE boot or use etherboot?
I'm attempting to minimize reboot cycle time, since part of the test suite involves 50 reboots per card, and with 5 cards in the system, a minute extra boot time is suddenly four hours. But I'll admit to not having gathered the data on that one, so I'll give it a closer look. If I PXE or etherboot, how would the kernel environment get populated then? -- Steve Watt KD6GGD PP-ASEL-IA ICBM: 121W 56' 57.8" / 37N 20' 14.9" Internet: steve @ Watt.COM Whois: SW32 Free time?
