[chef] Re: Easy way to add a role to a new node?

[Matt Ray < >]

It sounds like you're doing custom a custom bootstrap, take a look at
http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Knife+Bootstrap
and
http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Knife+Bootstrap

You're describing what the /etc/chef/first-boot.json is used for.
