2.) pause for a while the provisioning process and check reforged initramdisk file for ks.cfg file presence

# killall -9 shutdown
# cd `mktemp -d`
# gzip -d < /boot/initrd.img | cpio -id
# find -name ks.cfg
./ks.cfg
./tmp/ks.cfg

# reboot

3.) check RHEL7 anaconda proceeds with automated install successfully


note: the initramdisk was originally compressed using XZ compression, after ksfile insertion initramdisk was compressed using GZIP
