add layer meta-netboot to enable network boot over NBD (Network Block Device)
To enable the build of network bootable images, the following line must be
added to conf/local.conf:
INHERIT += "netboot"
This layer contains recipes for the following components:
* busybox: activate the built-in NBD client
* initramfs-netboot: contains the init script started by the kernel,
responsible for mounting the remote root filesystem then pivoting and
exec'ing systemd
* initramfs-netboot-image: image to specify for building the initrd
More details are available in meta-netboot/README.
