Currently this script runs exclusively out of memory, make it a (default) option to run from disk. xhyve supports this so it shoudl just be a matter of creating an empty file or even using an existing CoreOS disk image.

I wonder how hard it would be to create a packer builder for xhyve. I think @kelseyhightower has built one before.

@bakins We essentially just need an empty "root" disk. Right now the kernel/initrd needs to be outside the disk image.

@philips I like the way CoreOS runs in the RAM, easy update of the iso image and you have new version. It boots so quickly too. We definitely need the "root" disk. +1
