I've tried that without success. DHCP is configured, and it gets an IP
address just fine. From there it's not clear what to do.
For pxe boot I tell it to load pxelinux.0. After that it retrieves the
mac addr file. For pxe boots the mac addr file is something like:
label linux
kernel vmlimuz
append initrd=initrd.img
Should the same work for netboot images? If so, is it:
kernel image.nbi?
