+-------------------
+
+.. extlinux:
+
+extlinux
+^^^^^^^^
+
+Use extlinux as the bootloader. Note that there's no attempt to validate that
+this will work for your platform or anything; it assumes that if you ask for it,
+you want to try.

+.. leavebootorder:
+
+leavebootorder

+
+Boot the drives in their existing order, to override the default of booting into
+the newly installed drive on Power Systems servers and EFI systems. This is
+useful for systems that, for example, should network boot first before falling
+back to a local boot.
+
+
+Storage options
+-------------
+
+.. inst.nodmraid:
+
+inst.nodmraid
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Disable support for dmraid.
+
+.. warning:: This option is never a good idea! If you have a disk that is
+             erroneously identified as part of a firmware RAID array, that means
+             it has some stale RAID metadata on it which must be removed using
+             an appropriate tool (dmraid and/or wipefs).
+
+.. inst.nompath:
+
+inst.nompath
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Disable support for multipath devices. This is for systems on which a
+false-positive is encountered which erroneously identifies a normal block device
+as a multipath device. There is no other reason to use this option.
+
+.. warning:: Not for use with actual multipath hardware!  Using this to attempt
+             to install to a single path of a multipath is ill-advised, and not
+             supported.
+
+.. inst.nogpt:
+
+inst.nogpt
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Do not create GPT disklabels.
+
+
+Other options
+-------------
+
+.. inst.selinux:
+
+inst.selinux
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Enable SELinux usage in the installed system (default). Note that when used as a
+boot option, "selinux" and "inst.selinux" are not the same. The "selinux" option
+is picked up by both the kernel and Anaconda, but "inst.selinux" is processed
+only by Anaconda. So when "selinux=0" is used, SELinux will be disabled both in
+the installation environment and in the installed system, but when
+"inst.selinux=0" is used SELinux will only be disabled in the installed system.
+Also note that while SELinux is running in the installation environment by
+default, it is running in permissive mode so disabling it there does not make
+much sense.
+
+Third-party options
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Since Fedora 19 the Anaconda installer supports third-party extensions called
+*addons*. The *addons* can support their own set of boot options which should be
+documented in their documentation or submitted here.
+
+.. inst.kdump:
+
+inst.kdump
+++++++++++
+
+``inst.kdump_addon=on/off``

+Enable kdump anaconda addon to setup the kdump service.
