By following the instructions the CoreOS can be booted automatically via iPXE, but the next step of installing CoreOS to disk is done manually: we ssh to the host and prepare the cloud-config file, and run coreos-install.

Is there a way to do everything without interactive operation? I think this is essential to install the operating system to a cluster of servers.

The instruction assumes there is no DHCP servers in the sub-network, so we can start a DHCP service and configure the 'next-server' to our TFTP server to ensure the PXE booting works. However, if there's another DHCP server in the network, it's not guaranteed for the PXE client to communicate to our DHCP service, thus it may failed to know where to load the PXE firmware.

I think I've read some article about how to solve this problem (proxyDNS?), I should add more details in the instruction later.

Follow the document, we can't monitor the progress of installation.

CoreOS is booted but I am unable to find the default username and password.
