There are significant space considerations that make this difficult (you
have to have sshd which then requires a whole pile of stuff like SSL,
glibc, PAM, kerberos) and that seriously bloats the memory requirements
since those have to be in the initrd.  The telnet implementation is dirt
simple and completely contained within the loader and thus doesn't have
any of those problems.

Drives shouldn't get probed until after %pre, otherwise you wouldn't be
able to partition in %pre and use those partitions in the ks.cfg.  Are
you sure you're not just hitting the dialog from the loader about the
lack of hard drives?  If you're hitting that, then I just committed
something so that it won't pop up in kickstart.

This exists, put network --query in your ks.cfg
