Hmm, perhaps a bit outside of Cobbler but have you considered chaining via
GPXE? (enhanced PXE)
I used GPXE when I started working with Cobbler (for testing with older
hardware.) It may provide a simpler? one-pass chaining solution since you
can boot directly from images but, of course, you still need a method for
managing things (where Cobbler may still work.)

Thanks Dale,
I'll take a look at this and see if I can chain the images. If I get
anywhere I'll let you know
