Description
This test confirms that you are able to install a system when booting the installer using only a kernel and initial ramdisk image.

How to test
- Boot test system off the network using the kernel (
images/pxeboot/vmlinuz) and initial ramdisk image (images/pxeboot/initrd.img) - When prompted, entry a language and keymap preference
- Choose an installation method (HTTP, NFS, hard drive etc...) and provide the requested information so anaconda can locate the installation source. If selecting a network-based installation method, you may also be prompted to choose a network device and enter network parameters.
Expected Results
- Graphical boot menu is displayed for users to select install options. If no option is selected, the installer should load after a reasonable timeout
- Installer boots into stage1 loader and prompts for language, keymap, and installation source
- The installer transitions to stage2 anaconda using the provided installation source (URL, Hard Drive, NFS etc...)
- The installer utilizes the package repository at the provided installation source
