Description
Hi,
we use the software together with Ansible.
Some of our scenarios involve rebooting the vm into network mode just for os reinstallation.
While it is possible to use the change boot device to ethernet, reboot, change boot device to disk again the easiest way for us would be to have that coded as a one time next boot change only.
Thanks a lot!
