-This is currently not working as expected. In my first attempts I'd specify sda1 (size=500), sda2 (size=2048, type=swap) and sda3 (size=fill) but what I end up with is a standard layout it looks like.  Any sizes are also ignored. So for now I just pick the ones I want (sda1, sda4, sda7).

+Warewulf 3.6.99 and CentOS 6.5
+==== Part 2 ====
+To avoid the problems detailed above I started over with a fresh node.  First I installed CentOS 6.7 vanilla on the hard disk with partitions sda1 (/boot, 500 MB), sd2 (2048 MB, swap) and sda3 (/, size=fill). Since I had a new kernel now we need to make a new bootstrap image and provision it.
+<code>
+  wwbootstrap --chroot=/var/chroots/goldimages/n0.chroot 2.6.32-573.12.1.el6.x86_64
+  wwsh provision set n22 --vnfs=n0.chroot --bootstrap=2.6.32-573.12.1.el6.x86_64
+</code>
+Before we create the n0.chroot VNFS image edit the file and comment out these lines, with a golden image approach we do not have a hybridization path but we want these file systems included.
+<code>
+# /etc/warewul/vnfs.conf
+# comment out for golden image
+#hybridize += /usr/X11R6
+#hybridize += /usr/lib/locale
+#hybridize += /usr/lib64/locale
+#hybridize += /usr/include
+</code>
+I also cleaned the following files inside the chroot environment:
+<code>
+# /etc/fstab, edited (clean also mtab and remove files /dev/disk/by-uuid/*
+tmpfs                   /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
+devpts                  /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0

+    initrd /initramfs-2.6.32-573.12.1.el6.x86_64.img
+</code>
+Now when first provisioning happens the right partitions are created and the node imaged. With bootload=EXIT or simply shutting down the warewulf master dhcpd process, the node is now booting from local disk.
+Yea.
+==== Deploying ====
+As part of my deployment I edited out any device information in file ''/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules'', that information will be filled in on boot. Remade my VNFS. The reason for this is that in migrating from RHEL 5.5 to CentOS 6.7 I observed the order of the NICs to reverse themselves (but not always). Not sure why but will tell me what NIC eth0 will be.
+Then we build a template file with node specs in it like so:
+<code>
+# HP blades reverses HWADDR (don't ask)
+ # use nic port bottom (no changes)
+ # set both ipaddr/hwaddr then PXEboot, wait...ww times out but images
+ # post edit
+ #   /etc/udev/rules.d fix eth? entries per below, then startup scripts
+ #   eth0 down CC 10.10.x.x onboot=no
+ #   eth1 up   CD 192.168.x.x onboot=yes
+ # reboot (with bootload=EXIT)
+ n1  1C:C1:DE:1C:82:D5 192.168.102.10 1C:C1:DE:1C:82:D4 10.10.102.10 10.11.103.10
+ n2  1C:C1:DE:1C:81:01 192.168.102.11 1C:C1:DE:1C:81:00 10.10.102.11 10.11.103.11
+...
+</code>
+My deploy script (give an entire line from above as arguments)
+<code>
