    5757For all the reasons given, would you be willing to consider again making use of the information that is already available within the Mindi ISO (or some other way of auto-populating the field with the correct information)?

     67'''Re: External disk device ID order'''
     68[[BR]]
     69The above feedback (comment:10 in reply to: ↑ 9) is biased towards interactive restore.  To accomodate also doing an unattended (nuke) restore it might be worth thinking about the following.
     70
     71'''Boot screen message'''[[BR]]
     72"Restoring from a local external disk
     73 * Interactively:  do not connect the disk until the boot-up has finished
     74 * Automatically:  connect the disk now and specify it as a boot parameter e.g. sdXX nuke"
     75
     76ALTERNATIVE MESSAGES
     77
     78"Restoring from a local external disk
     79 * Interactively:  do not connect the disk until prompted  (+++note to Bruno)
     80 * Automatically:  connect the disk now and specify it as a boot parameter e.g. sdXX nuke"
     81
     82+++Issue the prompt at the 2nd menu (headed "Read from:"). When the user selects "Hard disk" add a screen that prompts for the external disk to be connected. Perhaps as message like: "Connect the external disk now. Wait 10 seconds for before proceeding to allow the system to find it"
     83
     84My preference is strongly for the alternative pair of messages as they are much more obvious and therefore more user friendly.

     88'''Re: Automatically supplying the path to the ISO directory'''
     89
     90I haven't tested the following.
     91
     92If the bootcode "nuke" is used, does Mondrestore check that the backup ISO is found before "nuking" the disk? If so, it is another reason for automatically using the path to ISO that exists within the Mindi ISO.
