I've written a perl script to create the pxelinux configuration
files. There you can say "localboot 0" to boot from the local disk,
but not again from network. Maybe this may help you. The script is
called fai-chboot and is part of FAI, the fully automatic
installation.

So my machines always do PXE boot (change BIOS only once) but get
different configurations from the install server, which points them to
boot from local disk or to boot the installation process.
