Ok I think you might be confused. A livecd's purpose is to load in to memory and be an operating system to work with temporarily - many installers are "live" OS's, but that doesn't make them livecd's.
If you're just trying to install an OS to a disk, and don't have a pre-made livecd image you want to temporarily load via cobbler, that's a different operation / instruction set. My tip is for if you have a pre-made Live OS image that you want to load - I suppose that could be an installer, but that's typically not the way to do that. I make my boot.iso images with the Lorax package (livemedia-creator) and then import them in to cobbler with "cobbler distro add", and add that kernel parameter. I don't know what Atomic is. If it's an OS you're trying to install, then what I've said won't help. If it's a self-contained image that you boot to, then it might.
