Hello,

I am implementing a PXE installation with autoyast, and it has been
working well. However, the system continues to boot from PXE and the
installation repeats itself over and over. I will not have access to the
machines to disable PXE in the bios.

I use PXE to install clients here. My PXE setup default to booting from the
local hard disk using
MENU LABEL Boot from the hard^disk---
MENU DEFAULT
kernel chain.c32
append hd0

If I was wanting to automatically install a machine without having to visit
it, I'd use a custom pxe config file for the mac address of the machine. Once
the install had started, I'd remove the custom config file.
