Can't we fix that?

I like the ideas you are using here... would be nice to be able to get
hardware and initialize it straight through without even opening the box...

The mono boot procedure - couldn't it be modified to detect the initial tftp
boot, and knowing that use tftp to retrieve a config file?

It could use the IP address in the file name to allow unique config, and
failing to find that file, use the IP network to pull down a default config
if that is the desired option...

Thoughts?

Thanks.
