Sounds like there might just be a WebUI problem?
Cobbler system edit --name=foo --netboot-enabled=0/1 should still work.
Yeah, I did that in a for-loop to be sure nothing else boots over the net.
Previously, I would check that no files were lying around in the
tftpboot directory ;-)
I agree, though, that the now inacted system is more "sensible" for a
large-scale deployment.
