And to respond to Gordon, yeah, the bootloader is cooked into the SoC

have much effect on end users as your imagined scenario of booting the
ARM netinst image and going from there is exactly what I plan to be
doing when mine arrives. Trying to persuade one of my clients that he
really needs to buy me a whole box of them at the moment for 'testing'
purposes, haha.

That's good to know, will make life easier for me too, I haven't got a USB CD/DVD drive and I don't have a spare SD card :-P
