not really, but it should be very easy to add, so why not..

i think there are two things here to seperate..
one is the stuff that you put on the server. that filesystem image is
different from the nebboot one; netboot contains nfs etc in initrd,
webboot doesn't. so, a webboot one would be the same as iso (content
wise, not formally, as the output would not be an iso image, but a tarball).
the other is that you still need a client image, consisting of a kernel
and initrd only, without filesystem.squashfs since that is going to be
fetched. so we would need to create an iso-hybrid images and/or usb-hdd
images for that, configured with the right fetch:// thing in the
booloader config.
is that all, or have i forgot anything, what do you think?
