Bug Description
During HWE/testing, it is not an uncommon occurrence that a system fails to PXE boot for some reason, and ends up falling back to booting from disk. If the on-disk image is from a previous MAAS install, it will look to the untrained eye that it has PXE booted, but is failing to commission/deploy for some other reason, and we waste time debugging the wrong thing. Those of us that are used to this failure mode know that a slow boot w/ lots of http errors (403s IIRC) during cloud-init is a sign of this. It would be a debug-accelerator if the console detected and explicitly hinted at this possibility - e.g. no BOOTIF kernel param + maas server 403s = "Did PXE boot fail?"
