* Boot an instance
.. note::
It is recommended that nodes using the pxe_amt driver be deployed with the
`local boot`_ option. This is because the AMT firmware currently has no
support for setting a persistent boot device. Nodes deployed without the
`local boot`_ option could fail to boot if they are restarted outside of
Ironic's control (I.E. rebooted by a local user) because the node will
not attempt to PXE / network boot the kernel, using `local boot`_ solves this
known issue.
