+      <title>Changes to Direct Kernel Boot</title>
+      <para>
+	There are significant changes when installing via a direct
+	kernel boot such as PXE.  Normal installation from
+	installation media is unaffected.
+      </para>
+    </warning>
+  </para>
+  <para>
+    Advanced users may do any of a number of styles of network
+    installation, generally involving setting up some minimal kernel
+    environment to perform the installation.  This operation has
+    undergone significant changes in Fedora 17.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+    In F16, it is generally <emphasis>only</emphasis> necessary to
+    specify the kernel and initrd location, and the install would work
+    - <code>kernel/initrd</code> gets <code>stage1</code>, and
+    <code>stage1</code> gets <code>stage2</code>.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+    With noloader, this is no longer the case: when doing a direct
+    kernel boot, the location for <code>stage2</code> must be
+    specified. In other words: pass <code>repo=</code> or
+    <code>stage2=</code> (or <code>inst.repo=</code> or
+    <code>inst.stage2=</code>, as is now preferred), pointing to a
+    repository. If the <code>stage2</code> image is on one server
+    but then the installation packages are on some other server,
+    <code>stage2=</code> must be used: <code>repo=</code> should
+    only be used if the single server contains everything needed
+    for the install (both the <code>stage2</code> image
+    <emphasis>and</emphasis> all the packages to install). Note that
+    <code>stage2=</code> still expects to see a 'repository' tree,
+    you cannot just pass the path direct to a
+    <filename>squashfs.img</filename> file (which is how
+    <code>stage2=</code> worked when it previously existed in F15
+    and earlier).
+  </para>
+  <para>
+    For example:
+<screen>
+label linux
+kernel vmlinuz
+append initrd=initrd.img
+</screen>
+    is no longer valid. It is necessary to specify <code>repo</code>:
+<screen>
+label linux
+kernel vmlinuz
+append initrd=initrd.img repo=http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/17/x86_64/os/
+</screen>
+    or <code>stage2</code>:
+<screen>
+label linux
+kernel vmlinuz
+append initrd=initrd.img stage2=http://my.internal.server/17/x86_64/os/
+</screen>
+    (or any other valid mirror).
