Quoting "Bryan J. Smith" b.j.smith@ieee.org:
Yep, that's the problem with the PC BIOS. One any "nex-gen" firmware should solve.
Hopefully Apple will show the PC world how it should be done. Even if Apple is proprietary, a commodity implementation will follow.
Sun did it long time ago in its OpenBoot PROM. Was it based on some IEEE standard or something similar? Don't remember anymore...
The only thing, I guess OpenBoot CLI would be too much even for "advanced" Windows admins ;-)
