Nodes with HD should always boot with HD first, then network - so it would always boot off the HD after OSCAR has loaded the image to it.

There are 2 ways to 'fix' your problem:

1) Turn off the rsync daemon on the server after initial imaging of client nodes
2) Mung the HD boot sector before you need to load an image to a HD with existing OS -> dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/h(s)da count=2, and then reboot it


Cheers,

I now have a possibly bootable image that gets transferred
across. It fails on USB probing on a machine on which I
can select network boot or harddisk boot and that has a
VDU attached.

The nodes I actually want to install on have only a
serial console, and so there is no way to select hard
disk or network boot since the serial console isn't
accessible at the point when the decision would need
to be made. In any event I want to be able to choose the
type of boot without having to go to the serial console.

Currently the nodes boot and load the operating system
from the master, and then require a reboot. After rebooting
they go and load the OS from the master again, ad infinitum.

Is there a way of stopping this and getting them to
configurably boot from the disk when I need them too?

Sincerely
