Jeremy,
One question. You mention ks=nfs: and nfs kickstart directive (inside
ks.cfg). What about the use case where ks=http: but the ks.cfg contains
the nfs directive? Are you saying only the kickstart directive in
ks.cfg would have the NFS mount options? Or the mount options would be
able to be specified either in ks=nfs: or nfs kickstart directive?
Thanks.
