Yes, that is what I tried to do (pre-create the systems, configure
the DHCP, hostname, etc.) then used koan --system, but the system
did not inherit its profile's Kickstart Metadata. Is there a way I
can troubleshoot this? Some way I can dump the information koan is
passing to the install so I can see if the kickstart metadata is
being "lost" somewhere in the process?
<bump> Is there a way to dump the merged data when I'm doing a
koan --system
invocation?
Thanks!
