netboot 2015-06-04 fails with different results (yes, I can provide details)
netboot 2015-04-22 fails with different results (yes, I can provide details)
netboot 2015-01-05, wheezy, works
The version is reported as 20150422+deb8u1, which I believe is dated 2015-06-04.
My system is jessie.
Not knowing how to change sources.list to just get that one package from stretch,
I downloaded the netboot images.
