Core Snappy on bare metal / PXE

[Dan Kegel]

I and several others have tried Snappy on bare metal
(see https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/snappy-devel/2014-December/000048.html ).
All you have to do is convert the image to raw with iirc qemu-img
and dd it onto the raw device.  I think I had to build qemu-img
from source to get a new enough version.

I haven't set up a pxe server myself, but there must be a thousand pages
describing how to roll your own, e.g.
http://askubuntu.com/questions/412574/pxe-boot-server-installation-steps-in-ubuntu-server-vm
It might be nice to have a canned example showing how to do this with core
for those in a hurry...
