Description

This test will verify that anaconda can download the requested kickstart file using a NFS URL. For further information on the ks=parameter, refer to 28.10. Starting a Kickstart Installation


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 the NFS server and path to be used for the test
  3. Boot the system and enter the following at the boot prompt 
    linux ks=nfs:/server:/path/ks.cfg
    For example:
    linux ks=nfs:hank.test.redhat.com:/mnt/autotest/testmachines/505-lp1/testcase/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
