Yeah, sorry, I got it backwards -- my motherboard manual states that the BMC starts the ME which then starts the CPU, not the other way round. But that's still Linux booting Linux booting Linux. :)

(I believe that at least some BMCs can function with no (other) CPUs, because my motherboard has a special front panel and mobo light state for 'no CPUs detected'. Those lights are driven by the BMC.)
