I understand that there are certain restrictions that affect what versions
can be Flash booted (or TFTP booted for that matter) depending on the ROM
software version.  It would be nice to know what version ROM software that
you have so you can be certain that Flash images you create will boot, so
yes, could you put in an enhancement request?
