They act on two different levels. The ipmi chassis bootdev pxe command really sets the device that the BIOS probes for booting. That way you don't need to set your machine boot order to prefer network boots permanently in BIOS, but can leave the default and change it ad-hoc. We also use this

Is there a PXE once option in cobbler? Basically, my logic is that with a large amount of servers set to boot CD/HD/Network i'd like it if the already flexible cobbler can also issue a pxe flag to system (Like when you toggle netboot_enabled) so that way the system will know to netboot the next

Yeah. If I'm not mistaken the Cobbler pxe_just_once scheme relies upon pulling mac addrs into and out of the tftpboot files (ie netboot disabled means I have no tftpboot boot entry for your mac addr.) This scheme breaks down if one chooses to hand out ip addrs (dhcp) and boot info (tftp)
