Kickstart hang at "Installing Bootloader"

[Peter Fales]

Thanks for your help.

My ks.cfg file includes:

##########################################################
#System bootloader configuration
bootloader   --location=mbr

# This line removes any existing linux partitions
clearpart --linux
##########################################################

The working system has a small VFAT hda1 partition, and the failing 
system has a small NTFS hda1 partition.   I want the kickstart to wipe
out any previous linux installs but keep the non-linux partition.
This is unchanged from what worked on both systems in RH9.
