Well, we were going to use both 'whether the helper address was
configured' and whether the MAC address of the NIC (which would've been
configured dynamically via an application in which it gets added/removed from
the configuration for the DHCP server) to determine whether it should be PXE
booted, and we weren't really initially thinking of autoinstalls we were
thinking of having an autobooting rescue environment similar to a busybox shell
which booted which would allow us to resolve issues remotely on a plethora of
linux machines which are not local.
Sorry I wasn't clear from the onset.
Thanks,
