Feel free to share your feedback and report issues.
Contributions are welcome.
This role acts as a runner for a single install_mfsbsd_iso.sh script.
(That's why there is lite in the role name too)
This script to fetch MfsBSD ISO to boot partition of Linux.
It also modifies the grub settings so that the machine can start MfsBSD on its own after a reboot.
The script itself determines the network settings of the machine and transfers them during the subsequent reboot.
See the defaults/main.yml and examples in vars.
