Progress! Between getdestiny and destiny.pm, the advanced idataplex wiki (and lots of grepping) I found that setting chain to "runcmd=bmcsetup,osimage=cps-netboot-compute:reboot4deploy" proves to work. The node does bmcsetup, configures /tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/, and reboots.
I'm now wondering if I can make changes in the genesis image to fix bmcsetup and perhaps improve the speed of the process?
