netboot issues
'Hard Reset'
It is the last message in the reflashing script, after that camera tries to reboot but fails as the state of the button is latched at the powerup, it is not influenced by reset. So read that bit and and activate "hardware reset" only if the button was not pressed at powerup (it happens when the factory programs the empty flash). If the button was pressed, do not attempt to reboot (it will fail or reflash again if the future bulk-flash daemon is still running) but just output message instead--Andrey.filippov 12:06, 29 September 2007 (CDT)
"Now camera needs to be power-cycled (powered down and then up) to resume normal operation"
It will also be nice to use the same green "OK"/ red "fail" for the NFS connection/ flash writing as in init scripts
long connecting
It takes longer time to connect to the camera if the IP during netboot is the same as during normal boot, but MAC addresses are different
Multiple streamers
current sctl.cgi does not have a parameter to select a streamer to use, so even with eth remaining 2 streamers (str and astr) you have to rename files to test them, Previous startup script supported multiple streamers and camvs supports individual parameters for them w/o requirement that they all should be unified.
It is important to restore such functionality to simplify experimenting with new streamers, I believe we can use PHP script for that purpose.--Andrey.filippov 12:06, 29 September 2007 (CDT)
