Hmm... well, I know this probably isn't the answer you
want to hear, but I would suggest that it's probably
better not to know... or rather, not to assume
that the devices will be in any state at bootup.
You're going to have to reprogram most of them
anyway, and there's inevitably some hardware that
wont startup in the state you want it to, so it'd
be best to assume nothing.
