$Self <options>

Script to create a bootable 'install' floppy image.

The image uses ipxe to retrieve a kernel to boot, and sets URLs for the
'install' initrd and kickstart config the kernel should use.

The whole thing is pretty CentOS 7 -centric at this point.

Options given to this script will set values for the bootstrapping of the 
*install* stage only. All values may subsequently be overridden from the 
kickstart stage, once that is retrieved and control is handed over to it.

Options:
  -D, --domain		domain, to complete FQDN
  -G, --gateway 	Gateway of target system
  -H, --host		hostname of the target system
  -I, --ip		IP address of target system
  -K, --kserver		Kickstart server
  -M, --netmask		Netmask of target system
  -N, --nameserver	Nameserver of target system
  -S, --cosmos-hash	Hash used by cosmos to verify stuff
  -h, --help		this

If --cosmos-hash is set to 'disabled', the kickstart stage should skip cosmos
bootstrapping, and leave the system unmanaged.

If -N, -K, -S options are not given, default values are provided.

The script needs ipxe and syslinux to run, and 'sudo' to copy things onto the
floppy image
