Right, found the "retry in a bit" in
/opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/genesis/x86_64/fs/bin/doxcat. Seems like it
may not like the chain value ($dest) of "netboot=cps-netboot-compute". So
I'm now trying to come up with a sensible value to put in chain. I've tried
netboot, reboot, "runcmd=bmcsetup,netboot". The bmcsetup seems to work, at
least partially (these are Supermicro processing nodes). Not sure about
getting it to just do the bmcsetup and do a reboot to the correct stateless
image.

Thanks!
