Well, in fact we do that alot in the labs here ... I was taking the info
from the perspective that you netboot to recover from some catastrophic
event - in which case the config area of the FLASH might be considered
untrustworthy. So it's a perfectly reasonable thing to do ... the only
problem is that if there are filesytem changes in a new release you might
have difficulty reading what you require from the config FLASH.
The main point about GENERICs is that we only need to follow GENERIC
releases with new ComOSes if there *are* filesystem changes - and between
3.5 and 3.7 there aren't any in the config area so there's no need and
no point in creating them.

Yes, but they have a config file they either tftp or NFS get at boot time.
Oh boy, I can see where this is headed ... (*duck*)
