Bug Description
We need to be able to test dev releases and interims as well... so we use hte maas candidate stream for daily images.
Running MAAS 3.3.4, we have not been able to deploy lunar or mantic at all. Both seem to start booting and then drop to a busybox shell (observed through the BMC KVM console).
I've attached a brief video where you can see it trying to load the installer envrionment on Mantic and then dropping to a busybox shell... it seems to be complaining about not being able to find the network device it PXE booted on... so maybe there's a driver problem? But we have not been able to install this on any server from any vendor, and that includes a multitude of PXE boot NICs from Intel and Broadcom that all have the same issue.
The system in the video is booting from an Intel I350, so not a new, unknown device, this is a quite old and very well established network controller.

This also applies to Mantic... Neither is deployable via MAAS, I tried both on the same three machines, one i350 based, one with an x550, and one with a Cisco VIC, same failures for both Lunar and Mantic on all three machines when trying to deploy.
