When the system boots up and loads the ISO, I thought it would automatically force the system to load a profile. In theory since there is no OS installed, it will start the OS installation without having you select from the cobbler menu. Is this feature not available for non-pxe boot?

What does the command "cobbler profile list" return ?
If one of the lines is not "ORACLE", then that is your first problem.

Not sure what I’m missing but I’m attempting to automatically install the OS with our new blade systems using a cobbler iso (generated by buildiso). The cobbler menu shows up with the list of available systems, but I want it to automatically install when it loads the ISO. I don’t have DHCP hence the use of the buildiso command.
I added a new system by running the following command. Please note, the install works fine when I select the system but that’s not what I want. Notice I have the “mac” specified and I went as far as using the mac address of eth0 as the name for the system. Both times, I’m greeted with the menu and I’m forced to choose.
cobbler system add --name=blade1 –mac=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX --profile=ORACLE --interface=bond0 --interface-type=bond --bonding-opts="mode=6 miimon=1000" --ip-address=172.31.20.45 --hostname=blade1.domain.com --ksmeta='server_type=DB disk_layout=BLADES_ORACLE' --subnet=255.255.255.0 --gateway=172.31.20.250 --kopts='ksdevice=eth0 ip=172.31.20.45 netmask=255.255.255.0 dns=172.31.10.220 gateway=172.31.20.250' --static=1
