Yes, I know it's not possible to have the rootfs on tftp. That is not my
 goal. I only wish to host an image file containing a rootfs that will
act as a ram disk. Much like the initrd does in the Linux world. The
rootfs will only contain the things needed to start the installation
process.

I think I have the information I was looking for.
Thanks again!
