You have correctly realized that pxebooting a VM doesn't work with the
2-network setup (I think this is what you're describing, anyway). The
preferred method for installing a VM is to put an ISO image in cobbler
and boot that, assigning the VM to your guest network. We create a
special nfs share on the server for ISOs that all the nodes mount over
the admin network. (Alternatively, you could run another cobbler
instance on your guest network and pxe from that -- but it won't be
integrated with oVirt at all.)

Does this help at all?

Take care,
