kickstart issue

[Lajosh]

Im trying to automatize vsphere installation to SD cards (Lenovo server).

I have used this guide to create my kickstart - vSphere Documentation Center  where I understood I could use following formats:

install --firstdisk=ESXSD (where ESXSD is my SD raid name)

or

install --disk=mpx.vmhba1:C0:T0:L0

however none of this works. The installer will always throw red error (which I dont know how to catch) and then it ends up with standard installation prompt (ignoring kickstart accepteula etc).

Thanks for help

Turned out not to be issue with kickstart script itself, but I made mistake in boot.cfg so the kickstart was ignored.

both --firstdisk=ESXSD and --disk=mpx...... works well now.
