Sure - in the image you can install a boot block and boot loader - that should work today.
Installing boot loaders is an interesting problem because it's an interaction between the OS and the hardware: the right loader to use depends on the hardware (BIOS/UEFI) and OS (32-bit/64-bit...). I Don't think that we have a good consensus yet on how to divide up the work to preserve abstraction layers and handle this super nicely. -Rob On 14 November 2013 08:34, Vijay <vija...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > Using baremetal provisioning, I was able to provision a physical server with > an image.
