That makes sense. I was hoping cobbler might include such a feature.

It seems cobbler supports this via IPMI on bare metal.

For the initial installation, the VM device boot order needs to be PXE -> Disk.
Once the installation has completed, reboot happens and the order
needs to be disk first, or else we get a re-install loop, or hang.
Basically my objective is to get a smooth boot into a newly installed
system after the initial installation where the VM started off booting
with PXE.
