Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netbootxyz/netboot.xyz/issues/119

Originally assigned to: @antonym on GitHub.

With Tails 3.0~alpha1 (https://tails.boum.org/), it appears they are now switching to x86_64 architecture. Previously memdisk could not load the x86 image as it was too large. With the x86_64 image, memdisk can now load the ISO into memory and attempt an initial boot. The problem is that either Debian Live or the Tails bootloader cannot find the live rootfs. It appears that memdiskfind and phram are both being loaded and within busybox, I can mount the rootfs by doing:

mount /dev/mtdblock0 /live

Need to see about raising a ticket upstream or digging into Debian Live and see why the mtdblock mount commands aren't working properly in Debian Live. Fixing this would let Tails load directly from netboot.xyz.
