Thanks for the clarification. I updated the wiki for you.

One thing that is missing from the wiki is how to properly prepare the hardware that you want to enroll into openstack.
1. Does it need to have an OS already installed?
2. Does it need some sort of PXE driver or similiar?

I am at the point of enrolling my hardware but its just an empty box with no IP and no OS.

Thank you
