How to constrain the install through kickstart to one drive

[Andrew Bacchi]

You can't always use one size fits all.  We have many kickstart files 
for our many servers.  Each kickstart is tailored for a type of server 
and we use the type that best suits our needs.

So, the ondisk=sda/hda problem is solved by using the appropriate 
kickstart file.  At the install screen we define which kickstart to use 
with "linux ks=kickstart_file_name".
