Yeah, but there's a big gap between what I _think_ is possible and what
I, or others, be be capable of doing. I think it's best to concentrate
on what's possible to do today. If some systems require a floppy or
netboot because we can't boot them from CD today I think that's still a
giant step in the right direction. Even having multiple CDs for various
flavors isn't all that bad.
How long have some of us been talking about booting NetBSD/mac68k without
the use of MacOS? ;-)
