Not necessarily. On more complex platforms (e.g. E25K's) the physical paths to boot devices will vary based upon the IO boards assigned to the domains. It is reasonable in some environments to derive a profile based on finding a particular enclosure type, then selecting a disk within it. -- Mike Gerdts http://mgerdts.blogspot.com/
