Not entirely true anymore.  The installer image is now located entirely
on boot.iso and you just need to point to a repo of packages.  But
there's been some instability on network methods with the landing of
using NetworkManager instead of our old code.

nfsiso should also work, although I think we now require that you
explicitly call out that it's nfsiso with repo=nfsiso: and not just
repo=nfs:.   clumens would know better than me
