I've discovered one major problem: When booting from a USB stick with 
diskboot.img, a kickstart file like this erases the USB stick! How can 
this be prevented? It seems like it's fairly reliable that the first disk 
is normally sda, but if booting from USB stick, sda is the stick. I guess 
we need to use "ignoredisk" on the USB stick or something like that, but I 
cannot find any obvious solution.
