How to get Kickstart to start a partition on a specific sector

[agillis]

I need a way to get Kickstart to start on a on a specific sector. For example you can do this using parted


parted /dev/sda
(parted) mklabel gpt
(parted) unit s
(parted) mkpart primary ext2 40 -1

This will start a partition on sector 40. How can I do this with a kickstart file?

[madhavdiwan]

you can script your partition layout using sfdisk in the %pre section of the kickstart file

man sfdisk .. NOTE THIS IS NOT FDISK

to see what other utilities are available in the %pre install stage of a kickstart .. mount the stage one image you are going to use in a loopback and browse its contents
