I was not aware that it was possible to make the root password sticky
using genkd, perhaps I missed something. I understood this needed
genunion.  Genunion on a USB-stick was a non starter for me - the
USB-stick could not be detected at boot-up. Possibly a timing issue.

Even if it were possible to host all config on a physically separate
device, if the pbx is logging lots of calls and is expected it to be
industrial strength then the storage of this on flash is probably its
Achilles heel, and could significantly affect the maintenance costs.
