Well, that "manually" is the problem.  :)  I'm trying to script
everything so I can just pop a bootable CD into a machine, (re)boot it,
and have my flavor of FC4 installed on it.  If I "noprobe expert", then
I need some way to tell anaconda what drivers to load before it fetches
the kickstart config file.  Any idea?

I found out that I needed to pass the "-c" option to cpio in order to
make the initrd work, so I edited the pcitable file and replaced all
instances of "megaraid_mbox" with "megaraid".  This seems to work, but I
feel there's got to be a prettier way to do this.

Thanks,
pete
