see attached file. It is our default pxelinux.cfg file. (hostname of our
faiserver has been replaced with a placeholder, apart from that no
modifications)

Every server boots from net by default. On first install you have to be
quick (15seconds) to interrupt the bootprocess and choose an installation,
on subsequent boots -> just wait for the timeout.

That way you don't have to give write-access to "everybody" so they may be
able to juggle around pxeconfigs. If a reinstallation is necessary,
nothing has to be changed.
