How can I boot from a root filesystem (maybe squashfs or dd image)?
I'm looking for a way to convert a working Linux installation on a drive to something bootable by iPXE. I have tried to use things like Linux Live Kit and debootstrap, and I have tried converting my rootfs to a squashfs image and booting it with initrd, with no luck.

I would very much like to do this without relying on third-party software or scripts (a simple dd command to convert the partition to an .img file would be nice.) I've been researching this and trying things for a week and I've barely gotten anywhere.

What is the easiest way to do this?
