When will this ever work? More often than not you would be generating a netboot in a chroot of the image.

Hmmm... I will have to think about that. Dracut needs to grow a -- root= option anyways, and mixing that functionality in with the -- hostonly functionality I have been working on seems like an obvious win.

 You almost never generate the initrd on the running netbooted system.

This is not an area I work in too often, but is there a particular reason why not?
