Personally, I use the `di-netboot-assistant` package for maintaining the
images that I offer for TFTP booting. It allows one to configure things
once, and then trivially upgrade the images that are being offered (as
well as handling the added complexities, such as nonfree firmware,
signed images for secure boot, custom menu entries etc., if you
configure it to do so).

It's possible to upgrade images and have something that boots by running
a couple of obvious commands, which means that I've forgotten most of
the details since I first set it up a few releases ago -- it should
definitely be suggested as the preferred option before describing all the
manual steps IMO.

Cheers, Phil.
