Hi,
I got the solution to PReP boot partition from this maillist about one year before.
You can try this:
Add such a line in your kickstart configuration file:
part None --fstype "PPC PReP Boot" --size 8
This PReP boot partition problem has nothing with the versions of rhelas3.
Good luck!
Rgds,

Thank you very much, that solved the problem.
Now i still have the problem that anaconda does not accept partition
parameters in the ks.cfg. I took them from anaconda-ks.cfg which was
created during a manual installation. the chrp boot partition is missing.
i will try with newer versions of rhelas3.
Newertheless, the hint that of can pass parameters to the netboot-image is
a big help.

Re: netboot/install on power architecture
Are you working with an power arch machine with an open firmware? If so,
at open firmware prompt, you can trigger the noninteractive network
installatin by running such a command:
0>boot /pci@400000000211/pci@2/ethernet@1:
ks=nfs:NFS_SERVER_IP:/PATH_TO_KSCFG/ks.cfg
Here, "/pci@400000000211/pci@2/ethernet@1" is device info of my working
NIC. Please find your own exact string from SMS menu.
After getting boot image by bootp, this client machine will launch that
image. And, "ks=nfs:..." will be passed to that image as kernel parameter.

He,
i have a question regarding automated installation (without any
interaction) and the location of the kickstart file. Pxeboot is not
supported by architecture reason. dhcp-option filename is used to give
redhat-netboot-image filename to the client.
I did not find any possibility to tell the network-booting client where to
get the ks.cfg file. Is it not possible to use kickstart in this specific
environment? Then i have to write a expect script, maybe python with
module pexpect, but this seems this is hard to maintain through different
version.
