Yes, I saw that with RHEL4, too. sda and hda get ordered before
/dev/cciss/c0d0 and anaconda installs the bootloader on these. Since
FC connected SANs appear as /dev/sdN you often get stuck.

I solved this by disabling the port on the FC switch the box was
connected to during installation. Would be nice if anaconda (and thus
kickstart) had an explicit setting to where to place the bootloader.
