Description of problem:
Kick Start install client is an IBM e325 server.  Boot from CD-R to 
start the install.  Client gets IP info from DHCP, then does an NFS 
mount (detailed in /var/log/messages on the Kick Start server).  Then 
the install dies with the following:

Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2004-10-26 12:54:39 UTC
It looks like your kickstart config specifies the use of the disk
"hda" while your machine has no IDE disks (probably only SCSI disks,
eg, sda, instead).
