Automatically disabling PXE boot

[Diego Zuccato]

Hi Andrew.

That would be OK, but I don't need (and it's actually undesirable) to 
reinstall at every reboot: one of the systems actually requires an extra 
reboot to complete the setup... if installation restarts, I'll find the 
system in a bootloop...

Or maybe I didn't understand and you're calling fai-chboot and just not 
bothering about DHCP ?
