What was attempted that failed?
The behavior is that rinstall/winstall are just simple shell scripts. Upon
completion of install, the next entry in chain.currchain is used as the
argument to 'nodeset' (effectively).
For example:
nodeset <noderange> runmcd=bmcsetup
nodech <noderange> chain.currchain=osimage=blah,boot
Would cause bmcsetup, then deployment of blah, then boot to storage.
