**Note:** If, once you boot the nodes, you find that the IB interface
28+
was renamed to something other than ib0 and hence not assigned the
29+
given IP, you can fix it by setting `--type="Infiniband"` and
30+
`--hwaddr` to the **literal last 6 bytes** of the interface's
31+
hardware address (the trailing 6 octets of the 20-byte IPoIB
32+
address, *not* the 48-bit InfiniBand "compatibility MAC"), so that
33+
the udev.netname overlay can set the persistent interface name.
34+
This does not make it PXE/DHCP-boot over IB.

Finally, rebuild the image to incorporate any optional packages installed into
2738
the chroot during customization, then rebuild the overlays and update the
2839
Warewulf configuration.
