Prior to this patch the Ironic documentation was only mentioning about the images which are packaged by the supported distros and about compiling an iPXE image from source. This patch extends the documentation to talk about the prebuilt images that are distributed by the iPXE project. The patch also fixes the syntax of the note RST tag.

Ironic
Ironic is an integrated OpenStack project which aims to provision bare metal machines instead of virtual machines, forked from the Nova Baremetal driver. It is best thought of as a bare metal hypervisor API and a set of plugins which interact with the bare metal hypervisors. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI together to provision and turn on/off machines, but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement additional functionality.
