RFE: Network boot capability in NetApp firmware

WHAT:

Add the ability to boot the OS from the network using a command such as "boot net" from the filer firmware "ok>" prompt.

I'll agree with you on that concept. I've also been trying to convince Netapp that they need to change "boot from floppy" to "boot from CD" ever since the boot disk became two disks. (heck, I still have some floppies floating around somewhere from the days that the entire OnTap OS fit on a 3.5" ...)

Perhaps we should be requesting both network *and* CD boot capabilities.
