| (*) Automatic install
\----------------------

This feature is used to replace redhat kickstart. I use the kernel
parameter "automatic" with the following keywords:

from list:
	method          nfs, ftp, http, cdrom, disk
	network         static, dhcp
	interface	eth0, eth1, ..

giving (string) values:
    (static IP infos)
	ip
	dns
	gateway
	netmask

    (2nd step network config)
	hostname
	domain

    (3rd step nfs, ftp, http installs)
	server
	directory

    (3rd step ftp only)
	user
	pass

    (2nd step disk install)
	disk

    (3rd step disk install)
	partition

    (4th step disk install)
	directory


Keywords must be passed with commas and colons, that is for example:

	automatic=method:nfs,network:static,ip:192.168.1.24,server:192.168.1.7,directory:/stable/i586
