- It was possible on the early models. At some point there seems to have been a
- hardware change which made it not possible. (What happens is that the newer
- models I have seen hang while "retrieving file system sizes". This is after
- it has connected to the server and allowed you to choose which image to
- install.)
-
- The other oddity is the 560. They (the ones I've dealt with, which could be
- different than the majority) come up unable to recognize their graphics cards.
- ie You netinstall a mksysb image. When you finish and reboot you don't have
- a console. (blank screen - the console is a file) If you telnet into the machine
- it's up and running. However the graphics card is not available, and can't
- (by any contortion I was able to devise) be made available. This was a 3.2.3
- image. I don't recall if it worked (or if I tried) a 3.2.2 image.
