7 You will need to consider OOB access to the servers via serial
8 console, or perhaps iLo2 / DRAC (HP and Dell); having a way to
9 remotely powercycle the boxes is also a pretty neat feature, so APC
10 Masterswitch PDUs, or iLo2 / DRAC?

12 Next step is to setup DHCP as your boxes need to grab a valid lease;
13 their BIOSes need to be configure to boot off the network interface,
14 then you can get a PXE menu built. You'll login via the serial
15 console, or iLo2/DRAC to 'interface' with the network boot environment
16 :)

18 Go read, there's plenty about all this on the web.
