If you try and run the script on a regular box, it fails. While you are
working on fine tuning the script, run it on a regular box and verify
that the file it creates that to test with initially before you move to
the load testing situation.
I want to thank Hugh for the note on me being a bash dork and Terry for
his cat suggestion. Thanks also to Chip and Tru for taking the time to
respond. I got a working kickstart file now that, finally, handles
underlying disks properly.
It took me forever to find a working sample of a logical kickstart
script, so now that I have one working, I'd like to post it here, "for
the record", in case someone else finds it trying to sort out how to do
something similar down the road. :)
