Once Anaconda gets to the %post section of the kickstart script it runs everything in a chrooted environment /mnt/sysimage. At the end of your kickstart script add: "sleep 360" or disable the reboot, just something so that you can go to console 2 and use bash to look around after your post section has run. Check to see if the directory /var/nm2 is created or if it is /mnt/sysimage/var/nm2 -Mike
