I think you might be missing a little something in there, like /boot?
/boot is not required to be its own partition. In the days of yore, when BIOSes couldn't boot from partitions the crossed the 1024 cylinder barrier, it made sense to have a small /boot as your first partition. These days? Not so much.
Ah, thanks. I was under the impression that anaconda required a /boot, like anaconda requires a swap partition which makes it hard if you want to setup a swapfile instead later during the install.
I also use LVM for my installs, which I believe needs a /boot since grub can't as of yet boot off of a LV (and forget it if that LV's VG is on a MD), so I hadn't seen a kickstart that didn't have a /boot.
