Subject: Some netboot doc cleanups

What is the intent here?  This is only used from 
modules.d/95iscsi/iscsiroot and nowhere else.

dhcp and any seem to do the same thing.  Get rid of any?

What is the point of this?  When is this ever useful?

It isn't clear from this syntax how to make it break in two particular 
places.  Please clarify.
