We do kickstart installs where we have something like:
part / --onpart sda1 --fstype ext3 --size 1 --grow
in the kickstart file.
How can we ensure that we are installing to the drive we expect?

I'd be happy if we could install to a partition with a known label but I
dont think that's an option in kickstart.
Any ideas?
