Three comments in debian_install_boot_files.t explain more than the code
hides. One narrates the media table the assertions already list. One
repeats the nodeset error message and the releases that produce it. One
describes what mkinstall used to refuse before the change.
A comment states why, once, where the reader cannot re-derive it. Each of
the three now carries only the fact the assertions do not show.

reg_linux_diskfull_installation_flat fails on every ppc64le cell of
xcat-core-devel-ubuntu-cd. nodeset stops before it writes a grub2 entry
(build #119, ubuntu-24-ppc64le-devel):
xcat25-cn: The network boot initrd.gz is not found in
/install/ubuntu24.04.4/ppc64el/install/netboot.
The Ubuntu ppc64el live-server ISO carries no netboot tree. It keeps the
installer kernel and initrd under casper: 22.04 and 24.04 ship hwe-vmlinux and
hwe-initrd beside vmlinux and initrd, 26.04 ships the release pair only.
%INSTALL_BOOT_FILES describes that layout for x86 and not for POWER, and
mkinstall carries a second, POWER-only precondition on
install/netboot/initrd.gz that no live image satisfies.
The new cases resolve the POWER casper layouts, and ask a single routine
whether media is bootable. They fail now.

Pin the kernel and initrd the riscv64 live image carries, that the kernel name
the other live images use is not accepted for it, and that the architecture the
media reports maps to riscv64 in both directions.

Build each Ubuntu media layout on disk and ask the resolver for its kernel and
initrd: the netboot trees, the flat netboot layout, both casper images, and the
POWER layouts where the kernel and the initrd sit in different directories.
Pin the precedence the installer depends on, a netboot tree over a live image
and a hardware-enablement kernel over the release one, and pin the three ways
media resolve to nothing.
