Bryan, 

Thanks for the response! 

Alas this isn't a netboot problem - although at first glance I thought you were 
correct. Unfortunately, I'm watching my VM reinstall itself again :( 

It's almost like I "koan --replace-self" but that's not what I told it to do. 
In fact, this is what I executed: 

koan --server=cobbler --system=centos-workstation --virt 

I literally see the VM install itself, bootloader installs then the VM shutdown 
and is started up again and its as if I initiated the original " koan 
--server=cobbler --system=centos-workstation --virt" 

Flossy
