Imagine a Redhat box installed with cobbler. Sometime later, imagine it in trouble and needing "rescue mode" to diagnose it. It would be very useful to be able to do something like: "cobbler system edit --name=poorly --rescue-mode=true". (Or perhaps "... --netboot-enabled=rescue-mode".)

Having this available as a simple flag would be very useful; the user shouldn't be required to set up all sorts of profiles. (If the implementation requires different internal profile functionality, this ought to be transparent to the typical user.)
