playbook/blancco-preferences.xml is now the vendor 7.20 preferences
(schema 4.20, "Non_GEAE_Wired" profile) with only our site overrides:
SMB report share on 172.16.9.1 with auto_backup, WiFi INTERNETACCESS for
cloud licensing (wired stays up for SMB), manual as the fallback process,
bootable report, screensaver 86400. workflow default=true is kept: the
cloud workflow erases unattended, as live 7.15 already did. No custom
fields, matching both the vendor image and live 7.15.
prepare-boot-tools.sh:
- 7.20 initramfs is an uncompressed early cpio (NIC firmware, itself
.xz files) followed by the XZ archive. The old patch decompressed from
byte 0, failed, warned and carried on, so PXE boots would drop network
after copytoram. Walk the cpio to its trailer and patch the XZ part.
- Patch exactly one copytoram match or fail. The looser fallback pattern
matches five hooks in 7.20.
- config.img now carries playbook/blancco-preferences.xml, so the BIOS
(native kernel) and UEFI (HTTP) paths read the same settings. Refuses
to build if the playbook preferences are for another Blancco version.
- The old global replace() also set the 802.1x, WiFi and repeater
passwords to "blancco". Gone with the above.
- Keep preferences.xml size by refilling the NUL gap before the trailing
filler comment (7.20), or trimming the comment (7.15).
- OUT_DIR can be overridden to stage a build outside boot-tools/.
