I have looked at the ONIE partition csaba has provided (specifically
the initrd within that) and it seems clear that this ONIE has not been
branded at all for Asterfusion. Definitely something to take up with
them. I think they don't need it themselves. The BSP contains scripts
that try to identify the platform by looking at some hardware
characteristics. I hope we can convince them to install a
platform-specific ONIE or at least provide a rescue image for that
purpose.
