During installation file system loks like this:
/
mnt/
source/ (your 10.1.2.1:/export/kickstart/RedHat_7.3/kickstart/)
sysimage/ (installed file system; i.e. hda1 or similar)
"%post" does a "chroot" to '/mnt/sysimage' so you can´t access anything
"above".
If you use "%post --nochroot" you can access both 'source/' and 'sysimage/'
but you have to keep in mind that your new installation resides under
'/mnt/sysimage/'.
For instance: '/etc/hosts' is to be accessed via '/mnt/sysimage/etc/hosts'.
