Cobbler sets up the following PXE boot stanza
default linux
prompt 0
timeout 1
label linux
kernel /images/jessie-x86_64/vmlinuz
ipappend 2
append initrd=/images/jessie-x86_64/initrd.gz ksdevice=bootif
lang= text auto-install/enable=true priority=critical url=
http://10.0.0.1/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/lemans hostname=lemans
domain=local.lan suite=jessie
(warning text wrap) which does but the system.
