[et-mgmt-tools] boot locally after install via cobbler

[Harry Hoffman]

Hi Peter,

I had this same problem... it should be said that with >= cobbler-0.5
there is a option to edit the system:
cobbler system add --name=string --profile=string [--mac=macaddress]
       [--ip=ipaddress] [--hostname=hostname] [--kopts=string] [--ipad-
       dress=string] [--ksmeta=string] [--netboot-enabled=Y/N

The nice thing about cobbler via (git - yeah, it's a messed up name) is
that a make in the d/l'd src directory will build you a rpm with proper
version so that yum upgrades will overwrite it.

It's a pretty trivial process, feel free to ask questions.

Cheers,
Harry
