parallels

I'm running Parallels 4.0 on Mac OS X 10.5.8.

I'm trying to create a bunch of Virtual Machines from the commandline, using the prlctl tool, like so:

$ prlctl create test1 -o linux -d centos
$ prlctl set test1 --device-del cdrom0
$ prlctl start test1

Now, each time I start a new VM, the VM spends time waiting for a PXE boot. I'd like to turn this off.

Can I disable PXE requests using Parallels or a Parallels commandline tool?

Or, can I set the boot order of a VM from the commandline?
