Booting diskless is the native way of Alpine to boot. System configuration comes as apkovl tarball. I used this kind of setup before but i disliked the boot times. Would be much faster if the final rootfs was packed into the cpio. But if i pack the cpio onto the disk, its not that different from using a regular disk image.
