Right, anaconda lets you specify primary partitions manually, but not in
kickstart:

[root@stout anaconda-7.2]# grep -r onprimary *
[root@stout anaconda-7.2]#

msw said yesterday that --onprimary no longer works with parted, or
something along those lines... also that --asprimary will allow you to
specify that it should go on _a_ primary partition, but --onprimary
(specifying a _particular_ partition) doesn't work anymore.  Perhaps
just dropping it from ksconfig and the docs is the solution.
