 ) Install Kernel and Grub packages into VNFS
+From the list "The main concern I can think of here is in the image (VNFS+files) size. If you have a large, non-hybridized configuration you use for statefull deployment, you may want to setup hybridization, or in general trim your image down to run statelessly due to potential memory usage concerns. Other than that, using a single image for both stateless/statefull will work just fine."
+So we'll stick with one chroot for now until it becomes a problem. So we can go back and forth with bootlocal option and keep the stateless vnfs image for PXE boot in database.
 ) Be sure you're configuring BOOTLOADER, DISKPARTITION,
 DISKFORMAT, and FILESYSTEMS
 ) Have the node PXE boot. Once it has provisioned, set bootlocal to 1:
-         # wwsh provision set --bootlocal=1 [node]
+  * wwsh provision set --bootlocal=EXIT [node]
 ) Reboot node. Still with PXE as the first boot device. The PXE
 config file causes it to boot off hard drive instead of image if
 bootlocal is set. So, it "should" be booting of the HDD.
+Update: Finally got back to this project. Just making notes here as I'm not going to pursue this. Building up a VNFS is tedious. I'd rather build up a server and then grab a ''golden image''. So I'm going to pursue that angle.  Stateless provisioning would be useful for me in the future with many node deployments of simple compute servers.  [[cluster:139|Warewulf Stateless]]
