Today, there's no netboot support for Indiana, but I know they're planning to add it. Is it possible for the primary device to simply default to the name "net0"? Or would that cause problems for a network-based upgrade? If so, it might be sufficient to simply delay application of netN names to a subsequent boot. -- meem
