📄 Description

This adds instructions for use of netboot.xyz on Oracle Cloud, both for AMD and ARM instances.

They cover:

the creation of a compute instance
how to access to the rescue console
which commands to run (on x86_64 and arm64) to boot into UEFI
how to access netboot.xyz from the UEFI Firmware
x86_64 quirks for Linux

I've based these insturctions on notes I wrote mid 2022 after enduring the painful process of getting it to work. I've then shared those notes with friends which were quite happy, so it only makes sense to contribute this back to upstream to allow for more people to use netboot.xyz on Oracle. (even more so with their default images not being extremely good and choice of images restricted)

I tried my best to stay close to the style of the other provider pages.
