Bug#273975: debian-installer: Provide prebuilt nbi for etherboot

[root <bri@abrij.org>]

Package: debian-installer
Severity: wishlist


The images offered in the netboot directory require expert massage to
be used with etherboot.  The manual gives this issue only one sentence
and does not explain that in order to use them, you have to use mkelf-linux
(from the mknbi package) on another machine and that you have to 
provide the correct kernel flags, which themselves require effort to
find.

Since the majority of i386 systems do not have network boot PROMs installed,
use of etherboot should be well documented, and there is justification for 
providing a pre-made nbi as well as a short recipe for constructing nbi
images from custom kernel and/or initrd.
