Is there a chance you could uefi boot the system?
In short, BIOS is a messy thing. The thing pxelinux.0 tries to do to 'exit'
can hang on some bios. So your chain works in your case. However, on other
systems, the chain can hang. Either way we try to go, if network goes first
there is going to be a population that can hang.
If using xnba, xnba.pm has the code, if pxe, pxe.pm has the code to inject
LOCALBOOT. This could be changed to your needs.

Subject: [xcat-user] "LOCALBOOT 0" vs "append hd0"
Hey all,
I'm having a very crazy issue after the system installs, runs post scripts, and
xcat changes /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/n1 from the "install gorp" to
#boot
DEFAULT xCAT
LABEL xCAT
LOCALBOOT 0
This hangs the system at reboot but if i change the pxelinux.cfg to
prompt 0
label rocks
com32 chain.c32
append hd0
everything boots fine. here are my questions:
1. WHY???
1. Is there a way to set the second one as the default of "nodeset <node>
boot" rather then the default??
1. OR is there something that I am overlooking?
The node is an HP SL230
Thanks,
JIM
