[Ike Panhc <ike.pan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ike Panhc has proposed merging ~ikepanhc/ubuntu-manual-tests:netboot-arm64 into ubuntu-manual-tests:master.

Commit message:
Here is the new testcase for netboot with live image on arm64 machines. Since 20.04 we only deliver live image as official server images. I believe it is good for us to add this new testcase into iso.qa.ubuntu.com

I can provide arm64 testcase if needed.

Requested reviews:
  Ubuntu Testcase Admins (ubuntu-testcase)

For more details, see:

+Reconfigure the dhcp server for grubnetaa64.efi.signed as filename and next-server as installed Ubuntu machine. e.g.
+
+host testbed {
+  hardware ethernet 00:00:00:11:22:33;
+  next-server 192.168.10.1;
+  filename "grubnetaa64.efi.signed";
+}
+
+Power on your arm64 machine and boot from ethernet. Connect to console output and you shall see grub menu. Press ENTER to load kernel and finish the installation.
