NBI.img files were for legacy systems that used old versions of etherboot rather than PXE. Most any recent system support PXE on-board, or at the very least are able to load iPXE from boot media. Support has recently been dropped in LTSP upstream, as it was broken for some time; there were many incompatible formats for NBI.img, which made it hard to maintain a working default. And it really is quite old by now. So, in short, everything can just use the pxelinux.0 clause in DHCP. live well, vagrant
