I'm working on a new version of the fully automated installation routine that I had developed for 4.4. One problem that people have identified using a PXE based install is that it's possible to get in a loop where you PXE boot and do the install and then restart and get back to the PXE boot routine and end up repeatedly installing.
I'm wondering if a way around that is for the install routine to mount the target drive and check to see if the install has already been done. If it has been done then go ahead and boot from that device. So the question is can the ramdisk kernel cause the machine to boot from a device without going through the bios? Something like running boot(8) from a running system... Thanks, -N
