Thank you for your help and pointers Rob.
I followed instructions from the baremetal wiki and i am lost in the last
step.

First:
I setup pxelinux.cfg/default to point to my-initrd and my-vmlinuz for pxe
boot.
My baremetal node goes into this prompt:
(initramfs)
I dont know if the above is correct.

Second:
Then i do nova boot, which gives me this:
root at os:/tftpboot# nova boot --flavor my-baremetal-flavor --image my-image
my-baremetal-node

Before doing this, I have done the nova-baremetal-create and interface add,
and this is what i get:

The baremetal node is stuck at (initramfs) no auto powering and no auto
booting happens.
I have not given --pm options , should i give that and if so what are the
values?
What am i missing?
Thanks
ravi
