I am wondering this exact same thing!!!

As to jeffphil's question, I want to do a fresh install rather than
upgrading from something I know how to load because I want to use the
ext4 file systems, which are not supported before 10.04 (I believe).

I would like to install from the netboot version, so I can start with
just a kernel and openssh so that I can build it from the ground up,
Xserver and all...

I basically want to be able to do what this person did:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO_install_a_Miminal_Ubuntu_and_XBMC_with_sound_over_HDMI_on_the_AppleTV#Create_the_bootable_USB_flash_drive

but I can't figure out the proper "kexec" command to run...  Any help
would be much appreciated!
