Hello All,

I've been trying to do a kickstart install on redhat and everything goes
well until the reboot.  Here's what happens.  I run through the
kickstart stuff fine, I input hostname, etc., 'cause it can't find it.
That's no problem.  I tell LILO to put it's stuff on the MBR, I get no
errors.  But when I reboot, the system hangs with a HDD ERROR.  Further
research led me to conclude that this was because when I do my install I
clear out all partions and create Linux ones, but none of them are
marked active.  When I boot from my floppy, and mark /dev/hda1 active,
all is well.

How do I tell the kickstart mechanism to mark a partition active!  It's
a real hassle...I mean the point of this is to be 'hands off', right?

Any help would be appreciated.  Below is the ks.cfg in question
