Here's some extra detail about how to get the node public key and node address you'll need to specify node 1 as the bootnode and initial validator:
Get the node public key of node 1 as described for a Clique network: https://docs.pantheon.pegasys.tech/en/latest/Tutorials/Create-Private-Clique-Network/#2-get-public-key-for-node-1
Get the address of node 1 to include in the extraData string for the IBFT genesis file as described for a Clique network: https://docs.pantheon.pegasys.tech/en/latest/Tutorials/Create-Private-Clique-Network/#3-get-address-for-node-1
RLP the data required for the extraData string as described for IBFT: https://docs.pantheon.pegasys.tech/en/latest/Consensus-Protocols/IBFT/#genesis-file
The List is the address of node 1.
Delete the database directory created when generating the node public key for address 1 as described for a Clique network: https://docs.pantheon.pegasys.tech/en/latest/Tutorials/Create-Private-Clique-Network/#5-delete-database-directory
Start node 1 using the IBFT genesis file with the extra data string created in step 3.
Start additional nodes specifying node 1 as the bootnode: https://docs.pantheon.pegasys.tech/en/latest/Configuring-Pantheon/Bootnodes/#private-networks
Vote in additional validators using the JSON-RPC IBFT methods: https://docs.pantheon.pegasys.tech/en/latest/Reference/JSON-RPC-API-Methods/#ibft-20-methods
