Hi Stan, yes, the expansion ROM image presents itself to the BIOS as a boot device. As a result, the BIOS will add to the list of boot devices Mellanox FlexBoot for a ConnectX device. The priority of this list can be modified through BIOS setup. Please refer to section 1.1. of this document for a description of FlexBoot: http://www.mellanox.com/related-docs/prod_software/FlexBoot_user_manual.pdf. FlexBoot enables booting kernels or operating systems (OS) from remote servers in compliance with the PXE specification.
