Ok, I found a moment:
1011 cd /opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/centos
1016 for i in ../rh/compute.rhels8.*; do ln -s $i .; done
1019 for i in *rhels8*; do mv $i ${i/rhels/centos}; done
1027 ln -s ../rh/dracut_047/ .
1028 genimage -o centos8 -a x86_64 -p compute
1031 packimage -o centos8 -p compute -a x86_64
1032 nodeset d6 osimage=centos8-x86_64-netboot-compute
That worked.

That's pretty much it. I would take a look myself but things are a bit hectic.
Unfortunately the person I was going to ask more about is unavailable today.
On copycds:
# copycds /install/CentOS-8-x86_64-1905-dvd1.iso
Copying media to /install/centos8/x86_64 Detection added:
https://github.com/xcat2/xcat-core/commit/c2acfbc56b54a1430c51ffa920cbb851e97c9e0a
I'll see if I can find some time to do genimage and netboot the image to nail
down anything else, but at first glance missing links to the rhel equivalents
seem to be the biggest problem.

Hello Jarrod, thanks for your answer. That's very good news.
I'm curious, can you hint me about what exactly support for centos8 consist in
as far as netboot image generation is concerned (I mean vs
rhels8 which must be pretty close) ? My understanding is that at least it means
- copycds -i must be able to probe distroname and arch
- --releasever must be probed and passed to yum for chroot install
- pkglist must be created or linked to the rhels8 equivalent
What am I missing ?
Thanks
