How to automatically boot from the local HDD after installation?

[Huioon Kim]

Thanks all!

I managed to solve the problem.

The solution was to run 'faimond' command with '-b' option on the install
server before install client's automatic installation begins.

However, I'm not sure this is correct method. Somebody can tell me if this
is the best way or not. :)

Anyway I could what I want to do.

Thank you for all your helps again! :D
