Greetings,

The following patch set includes a Rexx script written by Brad Hinson 
<[email protected]> and several cobbler fixes to leverage the zpxe.rexx 
script.  Setup instructions will be landing on the wiki soon.  Over-simplified 
...

1) Upload zpxe.rexx to your zVM guests
2) Create a zpxe.conf file (includes COBBLER_SERVER and other config variables)
3) Have zpxe.rexx run out of profile.exec when the guests starts

>From there ...

* If your zVM guest is not recognized by cobbler (e.g. no system record), the 
guest will be presented with a profile_list menu
* If your zVM guest is recognized by cobbler *AND* has netboot_enabled=0, the 
guest will be presented with a profile_list menu (timout to local boot coming 
soon)
* If your zVM guest is recognized by cobbler *AND* has netboot_enabled=1, the 
guest will initiate a kickstart install as directed by cobbler

There will likely be a few changes following this set as we continue to test.

Comments welcome, and many thanks to Brad Hinson <[email protected]> for his 
Rexx skills and zVM know-how.

Thanks,
James
