You can try the following workaround: # Create /etc/rc.d/rc.local with the commands to run $ vi /etc/rc.d/rc.local $ chmod a+x /etc/rc.d/rc.local $ persist /etc/rc.d/rc.local /etc/rc.d/rc.local should then be run on every boot. - fabian > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: Fabian Deutsch <fabiand(a)redhat.com&gt; > > To: David Li <david_li(a)sbcglobal.net&gt; > > Cc: &quot;users(a)ovirt.org&quot; <users(a)ovirt.org&gt; > > Sent: Monday, October 28, 2013 7:45 AM > > Subject: Re: [Users] How to pxeboot ovrit node into memory automatically? > > > > Am Montag, den 28.10.2013, 07:42 -0700 schrieb David Li: > >> > >>  Hi Fabian, > >> > >>  Yes rootpwd worked too!
