Bug Description
Hello,
I'd like to boot e.g. a normal Ubuntu ISO Image from network like this:
- Boot minimal system (e.g. kernel + initrd) from PXE / tftp
- initrd downloads big ISO from my HTTP server into RAM (I've got plenty)
- continue as usual.
My constraints are that I want to boot a diskless computer (no hdd, no cdrom) from PXE and that I need to unplug the ethernet cable after boot is finished.
From what I understand, this should be possible with casper, all that's needed is some combination of "netboot" and "toram"
