Yeah, it was defined like that in initial discussions but when implementing
I was not able to make this reliable. What if e.g. DHCP or DNS is just
temporarily unavailable? Managed vs Standalone mode must be explicit admin
decision, not at the mercy of the current network status.
Standalone boot entry will be made default on Node ISO and ovirt-flash/-pxe
scripts will get an option to change default boot parameters (patches
pending) so that admin can choose managed vs standalone.
