Description joshua 2011-11-22 21:25:06 UTC 
Description of problem:

This line is very important in Fedora 16 for kickstarts:
"part biosboot --fstype=biosboot --size=1"

... yet is isn't mentioned anywhere!  Without this, kickstarting doesn't work at all on the vast majority of machines.  Please add this asap!

Removing myself for these bug components as I'm either no longer involved in that aspect of the project, or no longer care to watch this particular bug. Sorry if you are caught in a maelstrom of bug changes as a result!

The attached patch adds the wording from the wiki page[0] to the Kickstart Options section.

Thanks for pointing this out, Joshua. And thanks Ben for the patch.

I've added this to the doc ready for the F17 version of the guide in commit 8b8c24ec726eb0e4635f50c161740ed13fb12602
