c349164592
This patches the "Create volume from image and boot instance" instructions such that the "nova boot" command in step 4 uses an image id from the "nova image-list" command in step 1. This will help avoid confusion as to where exactly that id is coming from. Change-Id: I9e11851beaa7548cd8c366f3b6d26d318b42e1a8
