 To perform one of the above maintenance actions on a testbox copy the
+``do-<action>.cfg`` file over to testbox hex-IP config file name.  Then trigger
+a reboot.  The box will then boot the NFS rooted debian image and execute the
+maintenance action.  On success, it will remove the testbox hex-IP config file
+and reboot again.
+The hex-IP config file name for a testbox is generated by taking the IPv4
+address, converting each of the 4 numbers to upper cased hex and remove the
+dots.  Given the IP ``10.42.1.96`` you can use the unix ``printf`` command
+like this ``printf "%02X%02X02X%02X" 10 42 1 96`` to get the name.
