Re: auto boot of BC-S VIOS

[Steve Richter <stephenrichter@xxxxxxxxx>]

thanks Pete.  I will call IBM support tomorrow.  My blade also has an
annoying habit of coming up in some sort of "discovered" status
frequently  when I power on the system.  When that happens I have to
start the blade from the white power switch on the front.  Hardware
support had me upgrade the firmware the last time I called about it.
Which did not help.
