[Users] Pxeboot

[Li, David]

Hi Douglas,

Thanks for the link. 

However I can't quite tell if this is pxeboot installation or a truly stateless pxeboot that you not only suck in the configurations from the server but also NFS mount the final RHEV-H root fs from the same server. 

Mike has mentioned oVirt Node 2.3 can only do the install but not the stateless boot.  I wonder if this is the same case with RHEV-H.
