Got lost in a rabbit hole, and ended up adding MBR (aka "BIOS") booting support to the headless IPMI resetter, So I could wipe a HPE Gen 8 machine without faffing with a screen and OS Man there are about 1000 different ways to make a ISO and about 3 of them actually result in a bootable image on all BIOS + UEFI + HP
one honk maybe more

@chaz6 yeah Ive been wanting something like this for years and finally accepted that I was the one that had to build it, not much magic really, just a bunch of text/config files for buildroot and one bash script to run on boot Magic stuff when you are in a pinch
