This only happens in one of two cases.
1. You are doing a multicast install. This is a limitation due to a
combination of the multicast transport (udpcast) and certain
versions of the kernel. This limitation will be removed in a
future version of the SystemImager auto-install client software.
2. You explicitly set TMPFS_STAGING=yes option via DHCP, a local.cfg
file, or as a kernel append parameter. Otherwise it defaults to "no".

I'm sorry if this is the wrong list for a new-be, as I have posted a few
unanswered questions. If this is the wrong list, could you please
direct me to the proper list?
My question:
Why does the master script try to write an entire image (mine is
5.5GB) to memory before writing to disk, when I seems unnecessary, and
in my case, illogical, since my system only has 300Mb of RAM, and
Systemimager had the opportunity to determine this during the
prepareclient, and getimage sessions?
Background:
The Systemimager installs to a PXE client kept failing, with "Out of
memory rsync error" until I hacked the master script:
/var/lib/systemimager/scripts/<host>.master
by adding this line:
export TMPFS_STAGING="no"
to the section "Lay the image down on the freshly formatted disk(s)" at
line (line 236).
Google.com didn't find any advice on the subject, and in all the
Systemimager or PXE install documentation I've read, I didn't see a
reference to this issue or advice on how to fix the problem.
Maybe this would be good to add to the prepare client or getimage
scripts.
