The problem with cdrom's is that someone has to publish it.
I'd vote for the LS120. That way, sites that have PC's that have them, can take advantage of it, while the rest of us can still trudge along with making two floppies.
Another nice option, would be to have a couple megabytes of flash memory. That way, the floppy image could be copied to flash (as an image) and could be booted from there. Four megabytes of flash would be enough for a two floppy image. (plus room to spare.) Eight megabytes of flash would be enough for a five floppy image.

Is there any way to do a maintenance style boot without actually using boot floppies? Maybe by copying the contents of the boot floppies onto a spare disk? The boot command appears to take an argument but I haven't figured out what it is.
this would be very cool, or better yet: 'boot cdrom', which i have heard rumored several times , anyone at NetApp want to confirm/deny this may actually happen?
