Issue in kickstart with NFS4
Issue
- I typically append the below to the boot line after the vmlinuz:
ks:nfs:192.my.ip.addr:/path/to/my/kickstart.file
However, the 6.2 server I am trying to kickstart can't seem to find it that path.

We did discover eth0 was bad and have plugged into eth1. However, the NetworkManager is being uncooperative. Added ksdevice=eth1 to command syntax, but the NM keeps trying to config eth0. How to disable NM or point it to eth1.

kickstart could not find an repo data, but I got a screen that allowed me to click Edit. When I clicked Edit I got a screen and the correct info was already in the boxes for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CD/DVD. After I clicked Ok the installation proceeded. Is there a kickstart file enter for the REPO data. Below is the sample kickstart file:
#Version=RHEL6
install
cdrom
lang en_US.UTF-8
keyboard us
network --onboot yes --device eth0 --bootproto static
(also includes --ip, --dns --netmask --gateway --noipv6 --nameserver --hostname)
# This is the line I commented out that I mentioned in my Feb 21 entry.
#network --onboot no --device eth1 --noipv4 --noipv6
rootpw the_rootpw_encrypted stuff
firewall --service=ssh
authconfig --enableshadow --passalgo=sha512
selinux --enforcing
timezone America/New York
bootloader --location=mbr --driveorder=sdb,sdc --append="more stuff" --password="the password stuff"

### This line looks interesting. Perhaps it was looking for
### sr0 vice sr1
repo --name="Red Hat Enterprise Linux" --baseurl=cdrom:sr1 --cost=100.
