Hi,
I'll voice my desire to have etherboot with filo.
I love the fact that I can first try to boot remotely
And then if not use filo. For this reason alone I am
A fan of the mechanism. Try remote first then if fail
Use local storage. If we can, can we please put the
Etherboot flavor in utils that has both network & filo support?
Kind thanks,
Dave:)

only useful if your ethernet is hooked up. 15/16 of our nodes here have
no ethernet.

not that important to us.

not clear at the moment if this is a plus or minus. Seeing that it has
trouble building under certain tool chains, there still seem to be
problems with it.

We still need to add my performance improvements.
