We use pxelinux, and a default boot option of "localboot 0", which exits 
that instance of the PXE boot rom.

So you always pxe boot, but then you exit the boot rom, and the bios 
continues to the next boot device, which is the HD.

If you actually want to do something from the pxelinux "boot:" prompt, you 
  just enter the boot selection at the prompt.
