Blueprint changed by Dave Walker:

Whiteboard changed:
  2011-04-30 cjwatson: Multipath is IIRC supposed to work already.  Is there a bug report detailing the problems with
  attempting to use it?
  
  Work Items:
- [davewalker] pare down steps to minimal Server install disk, dropping UEC: DONE
- [davewalker] put what is needed to have a bootstrapping server and mirror: INPROGRESS
- [davewalker] update automated ISO testing to align to minimal install use-cases: INPROGRESS
- [davewalker] update ISO tracker to align to minimal install use-cases: DONE
- [cjwatson] Add support to partition a system across multiple disks at install, in a non interactive, automated manner: POSTPONED
- Support the ability to run Ubuntu only from SAN, ignoring altogether local storage: TODO
- [bdevouge] provide cjwatson with a preseed/kickstart file of 'what he wants to work': TODO
- [kirkland] Support kernel command option to run d-i inside of byobu/screen to allow for remote attach/detach, real time monitoring of IO (disk throughput, network bandwidth), system load, stats/notes about installation: POSTPONED
- [martinbogo] send cjwatson details on OpenIPMI : Serial over LAN for console during install (device name may not be tty[S]0.ttyam0): TODO
- support network bonding -> http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=611250 : POSTPONED
- Support MTD partitioning for ARM server: Debian GSoC project from a year or two ago - should be possible to retrieve that and polish it up: TODO
- write a u-boot-installer udeb to support install of a bootloader other than GRUB (u-boot for ARM server): TODO
- verify consistent network device naming support works as required when the server is booted with biosdevname=1: TODO
