Michael,
Hey welcome back! And thanks for the response :)
I am going to ask a really silly question. When you say add the mac - do you mean via
cobbler system add ? And if so, when I PXE boot, it'll see that entry and install
OK?

Add the MAC or IP of the system, the menu entry is unneccessary and
then you can also do useful things like reinstall the box on next
boot, without any manual selection from a console.
