Hi,

I have done boot ramdisk from a remote server.
But can I boot into ramdisk from a local drive?

I am thinking to run everthing in the ram, and use local hard drive as a
backup,

So when system boots, it will read local drive and boot into ram, and then
make local dirve to get into sleep mode or make it stop.

So we will not consume hard drive.

If local hard drive failed, then ask it to boot from remote server.

Please share your ideas!

Thanks!

Greg
