Netboot is broken on the iso tracker

[Phill Whiteside]

Heck,

I wish you guys on -release would actually get an agreement that could be
written into a simple, short, wiki page such as
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Activities/ImageTesting
maybe then when we are building https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Activities you
may may contribute so we all all know, instead of screaming when we get
some thing wrong :)

Regards,

Phill.
