What exactly was changed in the context of this topic? I don’t see anything about how the firstboot mechanism is triggered, or any links to the GitHub README.md as I suggested.
Have a look at the wiki…
It links exactly to the complete Readme of the github page for combustion…
The part in the wiki which you complained about got removed and the link added instead…
Is gaslighting part of the culture on this forum? Unnecessary back and forts happen often here, almost as if people want to reply just to point out other people are stupid or something. Let’s try a normal exchange and exclude the passive aggressiveness.
In this topic I describe that the documentation is out of date and confusing. Putting a link at the bottom of the wiki, which doesn’t point to the section I am talking about in this topic, or even defines why the user should check that section. I very well explained my intent and reasoning. That change has not yet taken place yet.
I guess I’ll just modify the wiki and see if there is some feedback then, that might be more effective. As a new user I think this information can really help out people to troubleshoot their Ignition/Combustion by just triggering a ‘first boot’ again. This is not clear in this wiki now.
No gaslighting at all. You complained that the wiki (which is maintained voluntarily by normal users) doesn’t match with the official documentation on github. One of the maintainers of Ignition/Combustion now removed the outdated information in the wiki and pointed to the complete and extensive documentation at the github project site…
So?
A wiki is only an addition to the official documentation. The wiki article is about “Combustion”. So limiting the linking to the part of the “Firstboot” section of the official documentation would be contraproductive. Usually in most wikis, at the bottom of each wiki document there is the link to the official documentation. That is the same for most technical wikis…
And all I wanted to discuss what the community thinks of a change that a newcomer sees as a problem. But I guess putting a random link at the bottom a wiki, without pointing to a section, or even explain why someone should check it is the way to document and communicate effectively? The answer is clearly no, hence the gaslight vibe 
Also the dot-dot-dot at most sentences comes across as if you’re annoyed by someones stupidity. I’m just trying to help. No need for the extra attitude.
Later this month I will take some time to create a small section about what I was proposing. For what it’s worth, thanks for replying.
@UPPERKEES I’ve been using ignition and combustion for a number of years now with MicroOS, I have one Combustion USB device to deploy on bare-metal or libvirt/vagrant. It does seem to want network, so must add the stanza for this in the script…
#!/bin/bash
# combustion: network
exec > >(exec tee -a /dev/tty0) 2>&1
