Need boot support for VIOS to boot over iSCSI to SAN

Customer wants to have iSCSI boot from SAN using VIOS supported. During the Ericsson road map sessions, it was mentioned that IBM did some testing of this. Also, after the AIX, VIOS, and storage presentations, it was felt that it would not take development and only testing to potentially provide a support statement since the "plumbing" existed. Please have OM work with Tim Spencer for any additional details needed.
Bob Kovacs has been involved in these discussions.
