Hi,

I am not using quemu, i am using XEN, is there any option to allow me to do that?

In the libvirt documentation specify that those options are only available on quemu.

I'm not sure you can configure that for ipxe or qemu, but you can set
the reboot timeout for the machine in <os> tag like this:

<bios rebootTimeout='0'/>

that means immediate reboot when there is no place to boot from.  In
order for it not to boot from any other device or for any other
details, see http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html

Have a nice day,
Martin
