KickstartKsFilePathKsCfg

Description

This test will verify that anaconda can load a kickstart file from a file:// path. This is a typical case for when the kickstart file is located in the initrd or stage#1 environment.


Steps To Reproduce

  1. Prepare a valid kickstart file and copy to a on disk location accessible by the stage#1 loader. This is typically copied inside the initrd used for the installation.
  2. Boot the system and enter the following at the boot prompt
    linux ks=file://path/ks.cfg 

Example:

linux ks=file:/etc/ks.cfg


Expected Results

  1. The ks.cfg is successfully obtained from the specified location
  2. The install should proceed in accordance with the directives in the ks.cfg file
