Description of problem:
I added some nsf mounts to the end of fstab while in the %post section of
my kickstart file.  When the installer gets to the writeConfiguration
function it stomps on the changes that I made.

Tony

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Add the following lines to the %post section of your kickstart file:
  cd /mnt/sysimage/  # if you used %post --nochroot
  mkdir nfs
  mkdir nfs/u0
  cd etc
  cp fstab fstab.before
  echo "redwood:/nfs/u0  /nfs/u0     nfs     defaults        1 2" >> fstab
  echo "" >> fstab
  cp fstab fstab.after
