OK -- I might be missing something here ... <my apologies, if so!>
You're running your own kickstart file, yes/no? And, running into
this issue. Since you can control the ks.cfg, why not put into the
%pre section something that copies the section of the CD that
you need in the %post section to the RAM disk?? E.g.:
mkdir /tmp/source
CDR=/mnt/cdrom; [ ! -d "$CDR" ] && mkdir -p "$CDR"
DEV="/dev/$(sed -ne 's/.*trying to mount CD device //p' /tmp/anaconda.log)"
if [ -b "$DEV" ] ; then
:
elif [ -b /dev/cdrom ] ; then
DEV=/dev/cdrom
elif [ -b /dev/scd0 ] ; then
DEV=/dev/scd0
elif [ -b /dev/hdd ] ; then
DEV=/dev/hdd
elif [ -b /dev/hdc ] ; then
DEV=/dev/hdc
elif [ -b /dev/hdb ] ; then
DEV=/dev/hdb
elif [ -b /dev/hda ] ; then
DEV=/dev/hda
else
DEV=/tmp/cdrom
fi
mount -r -t iso9660 "$DEV" "$CDR" && \
cp -rp $CDR/... /tmp/source/....
might give you some ideas ...
Remember ... you may be in a chroor'd env in the %post
section, so you may need to have a non-chroot'd %post
that copies the /tmp/source above to your built filesystems
(e.g., /mnt/sysimage/tmp).
I hope that helps ..
