Rainer,
That is a solution, but who wants a ssd card as a boot device in a production
environment ?
I have already seen that this method can work fine with both a USB thumb
drive, and a compact flash microdrive. I don't want either one of these
solutions.
The whole point here is that I am buying a simple off the shelf server from
Dell, and SLES will not run on it. We are asking for support from Novell,
they say this is not a supported environment. I'm not using cutting edge
hardware here, just a slightly larger drive, and as everyone knows drive
capacities are on their way up.
