First boot of PXE configuration does an 'uninstall' to ensure no past installation of oVirt node exists. this works 100% unattended. However using install or reinstall or local_boot (a.k.a. upgrade) or even firstboot option, and even no option, on the APPEND command line via PXE, the automated installation stops. Waiting for interactive response? Is this the expected behavior? Even just using init_storage and BOOTIF, the only two required parameters, the automated process stops for interactive input? So how do you do a completely automated installation with zero human interactive action required? Uninstall. This works as expected.
