Hi!

How can I make it so that cloud-init is executed on pxe boot? Here is my 
file structure and settings:

pxe config:

```
label alpine-with-scipt
     menu label Alpine with my script
     kernel alpine-installer/boot/vmlinuz-lts
     initrd alpine-installer/boot/initramfs-lts
     append modules=loop,squashfs,sd-mod,usb-storage 
modloop=http://10.10.10.10/alpine-installer/boot/modloop-lts 
alpine_repo=alpine_repo=http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/latest-stable/main 
ssh_key=http://10.10.10.10/soft/authorized_keys ip=dhcp 
apkovl=http://10.10.10.10/cloud-init/tmp/alpine-test-01.tar.gz
```

I added 
ds=nocloud-net;s=http://10.10.10.10/cloud-init/tmp/var/lib/cloud, but it 
didn't work
