+Petitboot is a platform independent bootloader based on the Linux kexec.
+Petitboot supports loading kernel, initrd and device tree files from
+any Linux mountable filesystem, plus can load files from the network
+using the FTP, SFTP, TFTP, NFS, HTTP and HTTPS protocols. Petitboot can
+boot any operating system that includes kexec boot support.

+Petitboot looks for bootloader configuration files on mountable devices
+in the system, and can also be configured to use boot information from a
+DHCP server.
