Description Nick Coghlan 2013-11-14 04:41:18 UTC 
The architecture guide should provide an overview of the provisioning process for a system:

- kickstart generation
- tftp configuration
- power commands to trigger DHCP (and hence network boot from tftp)
- installation progress reporting back to the lab controller
- ensuring network boot remains first in the boot order
- clearing the tftp config (allowing local boot)
- cleaning up at system return/recipe completion
Comment 1 Nick Coghlan 2013-11-14 04:42:17 UTC 
"tftp configuration" means "bootloader configuration via tftp" rather than configuring the tftp server itself.

Comment 3 Dan Callaghan 2013-11-24 23:57:11 UTC 
This is now included in the development version of Beaker's documentation:

Verify this bug. This doc makes sense.
Comment 5 Nick Coghlan 2013-11-29 05:40:32 UTC 
We backported this to the 0.14.4, as it's relevant to the 0.14.4 EFI boot order fixes.
