Exactly -- and that's what I was after.
`grep console= /proc/cmdline` and playing sed games with a script
during %pre gives me the "console=<args>" stuff which was appended
to the kernel during PXE.
I.e. my script could return something like "ttyS0,9600n8" for a
serial console install, and "" for a VGA install.
That script in %pre builds a very simple %include file which contains
a "bootloader --append=<args>" string, which I then use in the general
section of ks.cfg .
One less bit of hardcoded data in all my ks.cfg files -- thanks to all!
When you want answers to Qs like this, it's a good idea to switch to the
shell on tty2 and have a look around. There's useful stuff in /proc
(commandline for the kernel, maybe some stuff for processes), there's
the environment - the console stuff may be there too.
You _can_ find your server if you're doing ftp/http (nfs too I think),
and potentially get more info there, perhaps a profile or script that
makes futher customisations.
