pxegen not generating pxelinux.cfg/default correctly in cobbler 1.0.8-1.el5

[Michael Rice]

cobbler was building my pxelinux.cfg/default with $kernel_path still
in it (the string was not getting replaced, as if kernel_path were not
set).

This is cobbler 1.0.8-1.el5 from epel-testing.

I did a "quick fix" on pxegen.py, just to add kernel_path and
initrd_path to metadata right before initrd_path is tested.  patch
inline, below.

Fixed in 2.0.9, should be hitting epel-testing any time now.

This should be fixed in 2.0.9.  Scott's change is:
