That's basically what we have done at previous client sites -- build a JEOS 
image that can be installed with tools like kickstart or cobbler, and part of 
that image is chef-client.  The last stage of the kickstart is to launch 
chef-client and have it check in with the server, and do all the rest of the 
work with Chef.
