Look in window 3 <alt f3> on the console before you reboot. If you add
chvt 3 as the first line after the %post it will switch there automagically
and you can even use <shift pgup> to view a limited amount of stuff that
has scrolled off of the screen.

Why --nochroot. Is this even legal?? Let the system do the work for you.

I can tell you for sure %post works when you get the syntax correct. The problem
is that if you have 1 character wrong it blows up. :-)
