Bug Description

After installation of cobbler on 12.04 there is a MaaS-specific syslinux configuration:

$ cat /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default

--------------------
DEFAULT menu
PROMPT 0
MENU TITLE Ubuntu MAAS
TIMEOUT 200
TOTALTIMEOUT 6000
ONTIMEOUT local

LABEL local
        MENU LABEL (local)
        MENU DEFAULT
        LOCALBOOT -1

MENU end
--------------------

This is strange.

[Impact]
In precise, the PXE menu shows 'Ubuntu MAAS' as it was used by default by MAAS. Since we no longer use cobbler, this is no longer necessary and we should change the name back to default name.

[Test Case]
1. Install cobbler
2. Check /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default and verify that MENU TITLE says other than 'Ubuntu MAAS'

[Regression Potential]
None. This only drops a patch that changes a name displayed on the PXE boot menu.

On a VM. Tested install of cobbler for the issue.

- Installed 'cobbler'.
- Ran 'sudo cobbler sync' to generate config files.
- Checked '/var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default' for 'MENU TITLE'.
- 'MENU TITLE' was 'Ubuntu MAAS'

With a fresh VM.

- Installed 'cobbler'.
- Ran 'sudo cobbler sync' to generate config files.
- Checked '/var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default' for 'MENU TITLE'.
- 'MENU TITLE' was 'Cobbler | http://fedorahosted.org/cobbler'

Marking as verification-done.
