Ports below 1024 are "privileged". You need to run auroraboot passing the --privileged flag to the docker command.

Having said that (where I was only replying to the title of this discussion), looking at the logs you shared, there are 2 different issues here. In the first log snippet, something is wrong with auroraboot when it builds the netboot artifacts. Is this latest auroraboot?
In the second snippet, we are missing the squashfs artifacts in the 3.4.2 release: https://github.com/kairos-io/kairos/releases/tag/v3.4.2

I created a ticket for the missing artifact here: #3425
