It is helpful to be able to power up a de-energized system into a boot of a particular target. ipmiutil supports this, but only if the relevant options occur on the command line in a particular order.

For example, -h -u will power up into a hard disk boot, but -u -h will not power up.

The patch was developed and tested against 3.0.8 but applies to latest 3.1.x.
