Keep in mind that the kernel used during the kickstart process (used
to be called the BOOT kernel) has to support the file system type,
otherwise you can't create the file system(s)  during the kick
process.  Someone recommended installing a kernel that supports the
file system then do mkfs using that kernel after the kick, but this
seems kind of kludgy.
