The question is what form of boot IPMI uses, and that information is probably difficult to find out. I wonder, why do you prefer remote DVD boot over something like PXE boot, boot.fedoraproject.org or booting the iso directly from grub? _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
