I'm a bit confused about what an image is exactely, as in netboot.img. I'm thinking in terms of physical. What is an image and why is it called an image? Thank you!!

It's called image since it depicts something. For example, the file netboot.img contains the filesystem to put on a floppy disk, which means that you can essentially say that it depicts the floppy disk.
Does that make it maybe just a bit clearer?
