I should say I also tried setting netboot-enabled to 0 and verify its not enabled in the
UI...

Bryan,
Thanks for the response!
Alas this isn't a netboot problem - although at first glance I
thought you
were correct. Unfortunately, I'm watching my VM reinstall itself again :(
It's almost like I "koan --replace-self" but that's
not what I told it to do.
In fact, this is what I executed:
koan --server=cobbler --system=centos-workstation --virt
I literally see the VM install itself, bootloader installs then the
VM
shutdown and is started up again and its as if I initiated the original "
koan --server=cobbler --system=centos-workstation --virt"
Flossy
