Right you can change the bootiso template but the ontimeout value needs to match the System or Profile name your requesting, in this use case its always a system since were creating single system iso's passing the ip details on the boot line, call it a very poor replacement for dhcp. We can not use the same default name over and over, the buildiso template does not support replacing variables that I am aware? like say in the pxe template but it should not be too much to add this.
