Description

After running pxe-kexec to load initram/kernel and avoid lengthy BIOS wait, facter indicates "pxe_booted => false".

Noticed this because a post-boot puppet one-shot attempted to install raid modules into initram.

Haven't investigated, but this may be as simple as the presence of either BOOT_IMAGE or BOOTIF in /proc/cmdline being used as flags for a PXE booted host (these are not set after a initrd/kernel reload initiated by pxe-kexec and subsequent kexec)
