Sorry to take over the list (seriously), but cobbler has anti install 
loop prevention features that solve that problem.

Just turn on pxe_just_once in settings and when a system finishes 
installing, it will toggle the netboot flag for that system.

Should you want it to netboot again, you can do:
    cobbler system edit --name=foo --netboot-enabled=1

The alternative is to set the BIOS behavior to only PXE if there is no 
MBR, leaving PXE out of the normal boot order.
