I can think of at least one cluster where the opposite has been true and PXE boot has been the default. The problem with this is if the head node PXE boots on the customers network and gets automatically re-installed as a windows workstation everybody gets egg on their face. Yes even "modern" BIOSes are bad but localboot first is a sensible default.
I will have to disagree. Changing the BIOS settings in a single head node is preferable to having to connect to 126 compute nodes and change their BIOS settings.
