is the partitioning section from one of my ks.cfg files that sets up a fully mirrored system on a box with 2 IDE drives (hda and hdc):

- If you use grub, by default a system missing the non-primary boot
drive (i.e., if hda in the above system died) won't boot. There are tricks out there to get a boot sector on the secondary boot drive. *However*, if you use LILO, you can tell it that 'boot=/dev/md0' and it will automatically make both drives bootable.
I see, never used kickstart, I did see anaconda.ks.cfg in root when an install is completed. So I guess one could edit anaconda.ks.cfg as one sees fit.
Not sure how to use it though. I suspect at the install 'boot' prompt I should enter some command.
Hello Gerald,
Look at "kickstart" section on the RHEL documentation ! http://www.centos.org/docs/4/html/rhel-sag-en-4/
