Of course I'm not saying that I *Want* to use an HD in this situation; flash is clearly a big win.
In my experience flash is a lot _less_ reliable than HDs. Ciscos losing flash contents aren't that uncommon.
But I don't see how using a floppy or ZIP improves wins.
Floppy doesn't rotate until it's boot time; and in COs dust is not a big problem. So, for a boot device floppy is probably the best (providing it's not an el cheapo device). An additional benefit is that it's easy for field personnel to handle. --vadim - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
