The network interface the diskless node will boot over (e.g. eth0).
=item B<-m> I<mode>
The mode of diskless image, the valid value is statelite. Statelite provides an efficient and flexible diskless solution because most of the OS image is NFS mounted read-only, but a configurable list of directories and files can be read-write. The read-write files can either be persistent across reboots, or volatile (restoring to pristine state after reboot). The configuration can be done through B<litefile>, B<litetree> and B<statelite> tables. If this option is not specified, regular non-statelite diskless image will be generated.
=item B<-n> I<nodenetdrivers>
The driver modules needed for the network interface. Note: the order that the drivers are specified in
