No, there's no magic in the kernel; it launches /sbin/init as always. init calls loader, loader calls /usr/sbin/anaconda (usually). See loader2/loader.c for details. Please then reconsider what you're trying to accomplish and why - running the installer like this is unusual and unnecessary. Why not simply use the partitioning and bootloader kickstart options to install onto the secondary disk? Cheers, Phil
