As far as i know, when a client boots over network using pxe, to boot
linux
it just need the following two files extracted from the iso image
vmlinuz: compressed Linux kernel executable
initrd (initail RAM disk): initial root file system
you still need rootfs somewhere
It doesn't need the ISO.
I think label Fedora-13-live.iso is used by dracut during mount the rootfs.
that's not the label, it's pointing to the actual ISO file included in
the initrd by -to-pxeboot script
which is unpacked into initramfs
It would be great if someone can describe in detail the purpose of
root=live:/ISOLABEL and why only correct iso image label work.
