Remove the CD and do not boot from CD – extra restart during deployment

Deployment took an extra restart after selecting which task sequence to use. This happend because multiple task sequences where published to the computer and the boot image for the selected task sequence where not used initially when booting.

I fixed this by making the task sequences use the same boot image. I know this might not be the ideal solution for everyone but the problem with this extra reboot is different version of bootimages beeing used.
