QA:Testcase Kickstart Hd Device Path Ks Cfg

Description

This test will verify that anaconda mounts and uses a ks.cfg located on a local block device.

How to test

1. Prepare a valid kickstart file. For help creating a kickstart file, examine the file /root/anaconda-ks.cfg on a previously installed system. This file contains the kickstart instructions used to install that system. For additional guidance on kickstart syntax, see Anaconda/Kickstart.
2. Copy the kickstart file to block device for use with this test (e.g. a USB key). For example, you may choose to copy the kickstart file to the /boot directory which typically resides on the first partition of a disk.
3. Boot the system and enter the following at the boot prompt

   linux ks=hd:device:path/ks.cfg 

   . For example, to load a kickstart file called ks.cfg from the first partition on drive sda, type:

   linux ks=hd:sda1:/ks.cfg

Expected Results

1. The system should boot from the chosen method and pause at the boot prompt
2. The entry of

   linux ks=hd:device:path/ks.cfg 

   should be accepted without error
3. The ks.cfg file should be read from the specified device/path
4. The install should proceed in accordance with the directives in the ks.cfg file
