Installation using kickstart file from usb device or disk
Issue
Sometimes it's necessary to use local USB disk drive/stick or local disk as a source of the kickstart file. Actually it's not recommended to use /dev/sdX, because disk devices can change.
The official documentation describes using of:
ks=hd:sda1:/path/ks.cfg
ks=hd:partition:/path/ks.cfg
but it's better to use UUID or LABEL.
