live.log from failed bootstrap

I have successfully booted the kernel/initramfs over PXE. During the bootstrap, DHCP receives the DNS server's IP address, and it claims to create /etc/resolv.conf, but does not actually make the file. Since I have chosen to fetch the filesystem from a name instead of an IP address, the DNS lookup fails, and the filesystem fails to download. Manually creating /etc/resolv.conf allows nslookups to succeed.

Yes, I found the issue is on live-boot. I will dig more and fix this issue recently.
