Hey, IIUYC I am not sure that this would solve Node's installation problem. Because Node is an image (ISO) which is copied onto a Logical Volume (LV). A seperate boot partition then points to the LV at boot time. And this part - writing an image to a LV during installation - is what might not be possible right now. But maybe it can be added.
