    Re: draft-ietf-ips-iscsi-boot-00.txt



    
    
    Doug and Costa,
    
    You are both right - however, we may have to include protocols other than
    tftp
    since there are a substantial number of boot ROMs that do not support tftp.
    
    Also, under the current draft, you can tftp a iscsi initiator capable boot
    image
    and then do a real boot off some iscsi target - the only catch is that the
    iscsi boot client has to qualify what it wants to boot and this is
    certainly
    possible.

    Doug,
    
    You make a good point that we ignored today's boot ROMs.
    
    The boot team will go back and look at how to accomodate both TFTP-boot
    and iSCSI information in the DHCP/BOOTP info.
    
    Thanks,
    -Costa
