We may want to make a small model change here. Right now, we have a 
single field, called 'description' in the model, but displayed as 
'name'. We may want to keep description (for the notes field) but add an 
actual 'name' field. We're also not checking uniqueness -- but that's a 
more general comment -- we need a major overhaul of validation rules for 
model params.

Is this something we should keep a copy of in the PG database, or should 
we just grab a list of cobbler profiles when displaying the form to the 
user (and then store this as a string)?

These are already on the 'new VM' form.

We have a mac address for each VM now -- it's auto-generated with a 
random value, but the user can change it. The whole MAC thing will have 
to be reworked if we end up supporting multiple virtual NICS for VMs.
