Hi Peter, I had this same problem... it should be said that with >= cobbler-0.5 there is a option to edit the system: cobbler system add --name=string --profile=string [--mac=macaddress] [--ip=ipaddress] [--hostname=hostname] [--kopts=string] [--ipad- dress=string] [--ksmeta=string] [--netboot-enabled=Y/N The nice thing about cobbler via (git - yeah, it's a messed up name) is that a make in the d/l'd src directory will build you a rpm with proper version so that yum upgrades will overwrite it. It's a pretty trivial process, feel free to ask questions.

cobbler system edit --name=$MAC --netboot-enabled=N -pete
