Hi,
I made a patch to produce bootable netboot image for (mainly) USB
stick.

After this patch is applied, 'make build_netboot' will build boot.img.gz
in dest/netboot/ directory for i386 and amd64 with both text and gtk
installers.
Because I didn't know well about other architectures, my patch didn't
touch them.

This boot.img.gz is more convenience than hd-media image for usual
installation scene (install Debian into machine with wired network),
because it isn't necessary to copy any ISOs, isn't necessary to setup
TFTP server, and is pretty small. Currently I set 63MB for this image
but we can change it to even 31MB. (I assumed user may copy firmwares
and something into it).

Thanks,

The mini.iso is now isohybrid enabled, which meets the use case of a
separate bootable netboot image. It will work on USB sticks on any
hardware supported by isohybrid.
