I've tried the sanboot option even with iPXE and it tanks miserably. This is because once the OS has booted it can't see anything holding the iso image any more. This would likely be the case for b.k.o as well since iPXE is based off of gPXE which b.k.o is working from. I think I have a work-around but not fully tested yet. -- James A.
