Is it possible to add a default/no-profile profile? When this profile
is selected the default menu will be shown.
This allows the following use cases:
- Default PXE for unknown MACs will be autodiscovery
- Autodiscovered systems can have this default profile (current pxelinux.cfg/default)
assigned
- Additional safety that prevents accidently redeploy of a system. After deploy the
system can be assigned the default profile. You must change both the netboot and the
profile before a system is redeployed after a reboot.
Thoughts?

Currently if you do the following you can assign all "unassigned"
systems to a default profile:
cobbler system add --name=default --profile=profile_name_goes_here
You can also do this for certain networks via CIDR notation
cobbler system add --name=192.168.0.0/24 --profile=profile_name_goes_here
If the "default" system does not exist, and there is no per-network
record, then the PXE menu will be shown.
Currently the netboot enabled flag is the protection against the system
being redeployed. If pxe_just_once is enabled in
/var/lib/cobbler/settings, the system will turn it's netboot enabled
flag off, preventing accidental reinstall.
Are you concerned with the neboot enabled flag being too easy to toggle
in the Web application? We could perhaps add a second checkbox like we
do with "are you really sure you want to delete this", though I'm not
sure that's the optimal solution.
I think it's a feature to know what the system has been assigned to in
cobbler because then you know what profile it is (most likely) running.
