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

[Harry Hoffman]

wow, I typed that way too quickly...

if you use git to check out the latest version of cobbler you will get a
option do disable netboot via a cmdline
cobbler system edit --name=<mac addr> --netboot-enabled=N

If you type make in the src directory it will build you a proper rpm with
a revision higher then your current version of cobbler so that yum will
*not* try to overwrite the currently installed version.
