Use miniroot disk on OpenBSD for UEFI
installXY.img is intended for offline installation, weighs several
hundreds of megabytes and requires mounting itself during boot to
provide included file sets, which will not work when loaded entirely
into RAM without backing device as 'sanboot' does on UEFI.

Even if it worked, users may wish to fetch only a subset of sets or
use different sources/networks in which case preloading everything
via iPXE just wastes time and resources.

miniroot78.img weights less than six megabytes and fully fits into RAM.
It does not mount any disk or CD, i.e. does not depend on memory disks.
It works the same for any platform or boot firmware, but needs network.

Use miniroot to fix UEFI boot.

Ansible role: netbootxyz

Uses Ansible to generate a self hosted environment of netboot.xyz for use anywhere

Requirements

Any pre-requisites that may not be covered by Ansible itself or the role should be mentioned here. For instance, if the role uses the EC2 module, it may be a good idea to mention in this section that the boto package is required.

Role Variables

A description of the settable variables for this role should go here, including any variables that are in defaults/main.yml, vars/main.yml, and any variables that can/should be set via parameters to the role. Any variables that are read from other roles and/or the global scope (ie. hostvars, group vars, etc.) should be mentioned here as well.

Dependencies

A list of other roles hosted on Galaxy should go here, plus any details in regards to parameters that may need to be set for other roles, or variables that are used from other roles.

Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: servers
  roles:
     - { role: username.rolename, x: 42 }
