Kickstart via PXE/NFS

[SSTinsley at upsfreight.com]

I made a change to pxe cfg file to have ks.cfg file read via http.

It fails too. However, if I look in the anaconda log I see the message 
getting ks.cfg
but then failed to transfer ks.cfg to fd. The snoop from the KS server 
side shows the HTTP
retrieval of the KS config file. Is it really trying to use an fd device, 
a floppy? These
Dell servers do not include floppys.

Redhat sure has taken something that should be relatively easy and made it 
a pain in the butt.
