> I would say it depends. Are you trying to boot off of all 167 devices?

If i'm doing some sort of odd boot setup, i generally TFTP boot the
kernel, and then use NFS root. And i have everything built in. It not
finding the root fs because networking is FUBAR is pretty obvious. Bin
there, done that.

Please keep in mind the users here. This is a data centre NIC, not a
'grandma and grandpa' device which as the designated IT expert of the
family i need to help make work. Can the operators of Meta data
centres really not understand lsmod? Cannot look in /sys?
