What I'd like to do is make it all automated - which has turned out be more difficult than I though. I have already created my autounattend file and have tested in a VM and it works for what I need. However, after my laptop loads the serva/pxe configuration and I select windows 8 to install, it defaults the to the normal installation prompts. I have moved the xml file around and within the serva (which has the win 8 files) folders and I cannot get it to read it. I know that serva is based off of Linux and it does read a cfg file, but I don't know what to edit/do or if it is even possible.
I changed the NFSOPTS=-ouser=serva,pass=avres part to NFSOPTS=-o user=theserver, password=p4ssw0rd because it had initially complained that -ouser was a bad option. theserver and p4ssw0rd are the username and password of the user account on the server machine (Windows 7). I have also shared the appropriate Serva folder, per the instructions.
On the Windows 10 machine I made sure that the "serva" user had explicit read permissions on the "C:\SERVA_REPO\NWA_PXE" folder AND that the "serva" user had explicit sharing permissions set for the NWA_PXE_SHARE share.
you have to read Serva instructions.i.e.Serva considers that the NWA_PXE_SHARE has a user with minimally reading access called serva with a password avres then you get
La serva padrona and the opera seria it punctuates were premiered at the Teatro San Bartolomeo on 6 September 1733, the first performances there after an earthquake the previous year in Naples had closed all theatres. Both were written for the birthday of Holy Roman Empress Elisabeth Christine of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel a few days earlier.[1]
Il prigioniero superbo was unsuccessful in its day[2] but has been staged in the composer's home town of Jesi several times and recorded there in 1997, 1998 and 2009, being filmed during the latter year. But La serva padrona was an immediate hit and became its own stand-alone work. Audiences found it appealing for its relatable characters: wily maid versus aging master. More significantly it became a model for the opera buffa genre and a quintessential piece bridging the Baroque and the Classical periods. With a new finale its French version provided the catalyst for the infamous Querelle des Bouffons.
Uberto, an elderly bachelor, is angry and impatient with his maidservant, Serpina, because she has not brought him his chocolate today. Serpina has become so arrogant that she thinks she is the mistress of the household. Indeed, when Uberto calls for his hat, wig and coat, Serpina forbids him to leave the house, adding that from then on he will have to obey her orders. Uberto thereupon orders Vespone to find him a woman to marry so that he can rid himself of Serpina.
Uberto, is a rather grumpy rich bachelor, whose servant, Serpina is ingenious, domineering, and self-confident. She does not hesitate to define herself as "beautiful, gracious, witty", and is as resolute and determined as Uberto is the champion of indecision.
To impose his authority and take revenge, the elderly master announces one day that he wants to get married. Serpina gets jealous and decides that the only solution is to become the future wife herself. She then devises a cunning plan with Vespone, another servant, and announces that she too will marry: the predestined one is a certain Captain Tempesta. Uberto is dismayed and realized he is in love with Serpina. Soon the elusive Tempesta (actually the disguised servant Vespone) shows up claiming Serpina's dowry, and threatens Uberto, who, in case of refusal, will have to marry the servant himself. Uberto joyfully accepts the second proposition, and Serpina, who wanted nothing more, from servant becomes msitress.
The Sarasota Opera production of La serva padrona is preceded by an original "Prologo", a musical prelude to the opera, in which Serpina and two other servants enjoy an evening of songs while the master is out. Piccini's overture La buona figliuola and the overture to Pergolesi's own Neapolitan musical comedy Lo frate 'nnamurato complete this unique produciton.

I'm trying to get Clonezilla Live 2.2.2.37 amd64 to PXE Boot from Serva (www.vercot.com/serva/). So far, i've been able to get the kernel initrd image to load, but when it comes to the time to CIFS mount the Clonezilla SMB share, it gives up.
It tries to netboot, then tries to run
"mount.cifs //192.168.200.2/NWA_PXE_SHARE/clonezilla_amd64 /live/medium -o -ouser=serva,pass=avres,ro"
Return for that is Child process terminated abnormally.
initrd.img \lib\live\boot\9990-mount-cifs.sh
contains an error when parsing the kernel variable NFSOPTS.
the variable:
NFSOPTS=-ouser=serva,pass=avres,ro
basically contains the user and password of the CIFS MS share to be mounted (and the read only parameter) but the script adds an extra "-o" before to call mount.cifs, then we get:
