Not sure this is exactly the same, but may help. In our environment we
install over NFS, but the ks.cfg is on boot floppy. We had to modify the
file syslinux.cfg on the bootdisk.img to make the install
non-interactive and point to the ks.cfg. The following diff command
shows what we changed:

diff <my syslinux.cfg> <standard syslinux.cfg>

Subject: kickstart problems

Has anyone else had success using kickstart via NFS with Fedora?  I am
doing everything the same way I always have with RH 7.3, 8, and 9.  Has
the ks.cfg format changed?

In our environment the ks.cfg files come from dhcp.  I have updated the
Fedora ks.cfg files appropriately which was based on our Redhat ks.cfg's
 ( ie  changed the NFS path of the fedora media, changed package list
appropriately, etc).  When I tried to kickstart a box, fedora loads its
kernel, gathers its info from DHCP, but then starts its *interactive*
install.  Basically it appears its not getting the ks.cfg file or
something is misconfigured.

Anyway, I just curious if others have successfully loaded Fedora via
NFS kickstart.  If so, it must be something I'm doing wrong  (I'm was
doubtful since I've been doing this type of installation for quite a
while).  Thanks!

Andy
