Hello,

a minor update to the kickstart install. This seems to work well with
the latest snapshot except for the grub issue (see below), please check
for regressions in the pre- and postinstall interactions since I've
needed to change the TTY handling.

Documentation note: if you want to install from cdrom without being
prompted, add "method=cdrom:" (with the ':') to the installer command
line. The current documentation doesn't include the trailing colon that
anaconda insists on.

IMPORTANT: this REQUIRES post-beta-snapshot updated packages, the ks
script will instruct you in the postinstall section about the details. I
used the following for i386:

Known issues:

- may generate a broken grub config, I suggest checking it using a shell
  escape in the postinstall (I needed to change root from (hd1,0) to
  (hd0,0) in vmware, /boot/grub/device.map maps hd0 to /dev/hdc instead
  of /dev/sda). Workaround:

  	umount /boot
	mount /boot
	grub-install --recheck hd0

Changes:

    Skip the prompts asking for the install key

    Support "method=cdrom:" cmdline arg; add IP addr sanity check

    Redo tty handling to work around shell and zSeries issues
