Or even bare metal. Personally, I extract the kernel and initrd and use it directly via PXE.



Is that to say that you.. wait, what are you doing?


I have my router serving up TFTP with the following pxelinux.cfg (and the appropriate vmlinuz64 and initrd.img extracted from the b2d ISO):

  LABEL boot2docker
          MENU LABEL boot2docker v0.5.2
          KERNEL boot2docker/v0.5.2/vmlinuz64
          APPEND initrd=boot2docker/v0.5.2/initrd.img loglevel=3 user=docker


I guess s/he owns a second machine and boots boot2docker over the network (PXE = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preboot_Execution_Environment ) without installing anything on the second machine.
