I really think we should keep the short name NBD for the Network Block Device
protocol. It's distinct like FTP and NFS.
BTW, If someone wants to help getting PXE boot from network implemented,
your help is greatly appreciated.
The current state is this:
Kernel is loaded via PXE and executed, but it doesn't mount any boot partition.
For this, the kernel would need to bring up networking and TCP and load a
NBD or remote_disk device.
it currently stops at get_boot_partitions if
(args->boot_disk.booted_from_network)
inside src/system/kernel/fs/vfs_boot.cpp
