2. We do blacklisting activity on the finally installed system so
that it can only boot of the internal disk. But we've never tried
doing anything like it during the "%pre" phase of Cobbler. Is it even
possible in the very restricted environment or "%pre"? Working example?
The 'blacklist' parameter is set under 'kernel_options' in the
profile data, e.g. (from the raw data):
"kernel_options": {"blacklist": "qla2xxx",
"console": "ttyS0,115200"},
You can probably add multiple items to the blacklist list if you
have multiple RAID controller types, and/or use different profiles for the
different hosts.
