Bug Description

Sometimes users are confused with our pxe menu(see attach), and trying to select ubuntu or centos when deploying nodes.
Quote:
"(1) local
(2) bootstrap
(3) centos
(4) ubuntu
If you are not doing any action, it will go for LOCAL ?, so we choose ubuntu. "

Need to add comments right in the pxe menu, that normally one shouldn't select any options there - for bootstrap it is selected automatically by timeout.
Also it probably should be added to the following documentation:
https://docs.mirantis.com/openstack/fuel/fuel-6.0/user-guide.html#boot-the-node-servers

Menu is configured inside cobbler:
/var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default

What is the reason to have ubuntu and centos options in the menu, if they don't work anyway?

I mean it is not possible to install ubuntu or centos by selecting that options in pxe menu - installation will fail.
Is it there by historical reasons?

Neither centos nor ubuntu will actually work. The label for the release should actually say DO NOT USE. Bootstrap could be renamed to Fuel Bootstrap (for node discovery)

Can we remove
centos-x86_64
ubuntu_1404_x86_64
completely?

Also, need to add comment to the menu that appropriate point will be selected automatically, and normally user should not select anything.

Yeah, let's hide them from the menu altogether.

Is ubuntu_bootstrap necessary there?

Can we rename bootstrap to fuel_bootstrap, to make it 100% clear?
