I found out that in 14.04, when libvirt starts a VM, it starts with strict=on, which does not allow boot from network. I don't have a way of overriding this if we use libvirt as the hypervisor type from Openstack.

We are investigating those options, but so far it doesn't look good from that front. Nova does not have options from what we can tell that overrides this value or provides an option to use network boot.
