Re: [Veritas-bu] BMR Restore

Showing up in the db for a BMR client is one thing.  The issue is with the
CD, which uses WinPE.  It has a trimmed down inventory of drivers.  One
notable in it's absence are some Broadcoms.  I haven't ran into it in my
limited use of BMR, but this could bite you.  However, I don't know what the
bite would look like ;-).
