Hi, all.
My i386 CPU servers have no magnetic/flash storage. The only solution I
found to boot them
without human intervention has been to add the driver of a "fake" nvram.
It works but I'm not sure it's a good idea, because it entails to modify
libauth
to insert the new device in the list searched by factotum, wrkey etc.
Instead, I think it would be better to get the result only by adding
files, without modifying the distribution.
A more elegant solution with no consequences on the normal update
activity by replica/pull.
Did anyone face the same boot problem in the past ?
Any suggestion ?
Thanks in advance
Adriano
