Cole, what we are looking for is when the bootloader is fed the following PXE configuration it should boot from the local disk:

DEFAULT local
PROMPT 0
TIMEOUT 0
TOTALTIMEOUT 0
ONTIMEOUT local

LABEL local
        LOCALBOOT 0

This will enable us to create a KVM "empty shell" that we can assign what OS it is running just based on changing the PXE configuration.

Pressing "q" would be interactive and less useful -- you'd have to catch it really really quickly or you'd be reinstalling.
