{{Short description|Legacy format}}
'''Network Bootable Image''' ('''NBI''') is a [legacy](/source/legacy_system) format that wraps [operating system](/source/operating_system) images to makes it possible for [Etherboot](/source/Etherboot) to load the images directly. NBI format is able to combine [kernel](/source/kernel_(operating_system)), [file system](/source/file_system) and various boot parameters, such as location of remote file system or server [IP address](/source/IP_address), into one [bootable](/source/bootable) [file](/source/Computer_file).<ref>[http://etherboot.org/wiki/mknbi The mknbi utilities]</ref>
