      @xardoniak Well to start breaking this down, do you have a physical computer on the same subnet you can test with?

      Really we have 2 timings to consider. The first is the transfer of the linux kernel and initfs via tftp, then you have the kernel startup to end that timing. Once the kernel is up and running it uses nfs to connect to the FOG server to load the squashfs that has the actual OS image. Once the nfs bit happens that starts the second timing. tftp is the slowest of the protocols but that is only used to get vmlinz and initrd over to the target computer, the rest is done by nfs.

      I was using Ubuntu 18 Server install, but I was able to get it working like this.

      I created a /images/os/ubuntu folder and copied the ubuntu ISO file contents in there.

      I created a folder /tftpboot/os/ubuntu
      There I put the initrd and vmlinuz files from the casper folder in the ubuntu iso.

      Here are the parameters I used in FOG.
      kernel tftp://192.168.160.12/os/ubuntu/vmlinuz
      initrd tftp://192.168.160.12/os/ubuntu/initrd
      imgargs vmlinuz initrd=initrd boot=casper root=/dev/nfs netboot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.160.12:/images/os/ubuntu/ ip=dhcp rw
      boot || goto MENU

      This allowed me to start the installer from that usb, but I haven’t got a working live OS running yet, though I hope to have that soon.
