Bug Description
on 64bit systems that only support legacy boot. I believe this will apply to all systems that are legacy boot. as APPEND hd0 is not a valid boot option for PXELINUX for local boot.
see https:/
and ./src/provision
as it already uses LOCALBOOT -1
With out this patch, when deploying, the system will sit at a boot: prompt during final boot from local media

There is actually a note in our tests[1] that using LOCALBOOT is unreliable on i386 and AMD64. LOCALBOOT 0 is used on other architectures. I don't have any information as to why it was considered unreliable nor if -1 was attempted.
Is the current config not working on your machine?
