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?
