Description of the change

This change allows the loading of a squashfs image over NFS instead of NBD by setting a boot method of NFSI (cf. https://sourceforge.net/p/ltsp/mailman/message/36669125/)

I am not sure about selecting the image name by $ARCH. Please give feedback on that.

Support NFSI boot method everywhere.

NFSI means NFS image and can be used to mounta (squash)fs image over
NFS instead of NBS.
