Thanks for the info! I've logged bug 898682 [1] to ensure it gets added to the documentation. Based on this note, is this a solution for Xen only?
Is this the same as using a config drive? I had heard a config drive works on KVM but not Xen. If someone who's familiar with this area could work on the docs that would be great.
