What is the value for netboot for the node? If it is pxe, make changes in
pxe.pm. If it is xnba, make changes in xnba.pm. Make sure to change all
the occurrence of print $pcfg "LOCALBOOT 0\n";

Thanks Jarrod,
That worked like a champ. I changed pxe.pm to comment out the LOCALBOOT 0
and added the Chain lines. Everything works just fine when i #nodeset
<node> boot.
BUT, when I install a node, and the node runs the postscripts and then
sets the pxelinux.cfg after the install finishes, it still sets the boot
file to "LOCALBOOT 0". I thought the postinstall script would have just
called nodeset but it appears that there is a different call going on that
sets the pxe file at the end of installs. Can someone point me to where
that call is so I can make the change there too?
Thanks,
JIM

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.

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???
2. Is there a way to set the second one as the default of "nodeset
<node> boot" rather then the default??
3. OR is there something that I am overlooking?
The node is an HP SL230
Thanks,
JIM
