Hi Alok,

...

After the machine has been installed
and the newly installed system is up and running, it is quite
possible that the "boot from net" is still set.
...

It seems the problem is less severe for Sparc as the installer
sets boot device to target disk after installation is done.
This scenario is more likely to happen for x86 where we don't have
control over BIOS.

An AI client based solution

Cons:

None that are obvious at this time.
...

I can think there might be some disadvantage as far as x86 platform
is concerned. If the approach would be to require interaction from user,
like explicit confirmation or selecting some choice from menu,
it would not be hands off.

Thank you,
Jan
