I
ended up rolling my own custom bootable CD using ISOLINUX for just this
problem. I setup the config file so that the default behavior is to wait
for a 30 second timeout, then boot from the hard disk if "install" isn't
selected. This way, after an install (especially remotely, over serial
console or Compaq iLo or IBM RAS card) you don't have to worry about whether the
system reboots from the CD or not; just ignore it and the hard drive will
boot. Since we were building our own custom CD anyway, it seemed like a
worthwhile modification.
My
isolinux.cfg:
serial 0 9600
default local prompt 1 timeout 300 display boot.msg label local
localboot 0x80 label install
kernel vmlinuz APPEND initrd=initrd.img ks=file:/ks.cfg local text Gordon
