Would you consider defaulting the host portion of a URL to be the
ROOTSERVER if it is blank?
Reason: this would mean I don't have to customise live.cfg for each
server I deploy it on (because the tftp server also serves the root
image).
So:
append fetch=tftp:///path/file.ext
doesn't work now, but if the attached patch is applied this would be
assumed since the host is blank:
append fetch=tftp://${ROOTSERVER}/path/file.ext
