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.
Awesome, thanks Harry - I'll start diving into this tomorrow then. Just
to make sure I understand clearly. With the newer version I should be
able to run something like this during %post:
cobbler system edit --name=$MAC --netboot-enabled=N
