When you pxe boot, syslinux starts up before the kernel loads. It can have
a menu with a timeout and you can choose to boot the local hard drive.
Page 12 of this presentation shows and example to pick between two kernels
but you can also have network boot or local boot, etc. Syslinux configures
centrally and you can configure by ranges of mac addresses.
