Booting an O2 off FC storage - Darkstar - 07-08-2019

Hi,

I'd like to boot my O2 from external FC storage (once I have a working SoG monitor...) for performance reasons. Will this work with an QLA2342 card (which is supported according to the O2 Hardware Aggregator)?

Or is the QLA2342 supported only in IRIX and not in the PROM? Or, if QLA2342 support is not in the PROM, are other FC cards supported for booting? Has anyone ever successfully booted an O2 over FC?

regards
-Darkstar
