Please make sure to submit your patch for this task and to take required notes for it in the OSUOSL issue tracker at http://code.osuosl.org/issues/99. Required notes would include letting the community know you are working on the issue with a note in the tracker, any notes on progress or difficulties implementing, etc.

For help with this task, contact kreneskyp or ramereth in #osuosl on Freenode. 

Please add network boot support for the boot_order field. This should also be modifiable (see issue #993, http://code.osuosl.org/issues/993). There really isn't much of a use case for this during installation until we add support for for "--no-install" which doesn't seem to be supported in the RAPI yet. But once issue #993 is resolved it will be very useful. Completion of this task blocks resolution of issue #993, but these are separate tasks for the purposes of GVI.
