I actually want to edit the information that cobbler puts into the default from the distribution…
For instance:
LABEL vmware50u2-x86_64
kernel /images/vmware50u2-x86_64/mboot.c32
MENU LABEL vmware50u2-x86_64
ipappend 2
append /images/vmware50u2-x86_64/vmkboot.gz append initrd=/images/vmware50u2-x86_64/s.v00 ks=http://127.0.0.1/cblr/svc/op/ks/profile/vmware50u2-x86_64 lang= text --- /images/vmware50u2-x86_64/vmkernel.gz --- /images/vmware50u2-x86_64/sys.vgz --- /images/vmware50u2-x86_64/cim.vgz --- /images/vmware50u2-x86_64/ienviron.vgz --- /images/vmware50u2-x86_64/install.vgz
Needs to be:
LABEL vmware50u2-x86_64
kernel /images/vmware50u2-x86_64/mboot.c32
MENU LABEL vmware50u2-x86_64
ipappend 2
append -c /images/vmware50u2-x86_64/boot.cfg /images/vmware50u2-x86_64/vmkboot.gz append initrd=/images/vmware50u2-x86_64/s.v00 ks=http://127.0.0.1/cblr/svc/op/ks/profile/vmware50u2-x86_64 lang= text --- /images/vmware50u2-x86_64/vmkernel.gz --- /images/vmware50u2-x86_64/sys.vgz --- /images/vmware50u2-x86_64/cim.vgz --- /images/vmware50u2-x86_64/ienviron.vgz --- /images/vmware50u2–x86_64/install.vgz

With esxi, every time I add a system, cobbler seems to nuke my modified boot.cfg and default menu… how can I prevent that? Any way to make cobbler fully qualify the paths within the boot.cfg for me?
Cobbler cleans up the tftpd root directory to make sure there's no cruft left around. To add entries to the default menu, add them to the file /etc/cobbler/pxe/pxedefault.template. For the boot.cfg, you'll probably need to modify that in the /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror directory that contains the imported esxi files.
