+ It is unlikely to work at all, and will not work correctly.

+ Use the pxeboot write extension instead

+ Deploy a system image and kernel to an nfsboot server.
+
+ An nfsboot server is defined as a baserock system that has
+ tftp and nfs servers running, the tftp server is exporting
+ the contents of /srv/nfsboot/tftp/ and the user has sufficient
+ permissions to create nfs roots in /srv/nfsboot/nfs/.
+
+ The `location` argument is the hostname of the nfsboot server.
+
+ The extension will connect to root@HOST via ssh to copy the
+ kernel and rootfs, and configure the nfs server.
