esxi5 kickstart questions

Hi,

 

I'm working on creating some kickstart scripts and searching the forums has been a valuable tool, but I have to ask some questions and hope you can help.  I have a limited window for test equipment and I don't want to waste time creating iso images trying to perfect this.

 

I am modifying the ISOLINUX.cfg file to add some additional options that point to different kick start scripts. In order to point my custom menu option to a kickstart file on the installation CD, is the following correct assuming I have a directory on the CD called kickstart?

 

LABEL Dell Install

MENU LABEL Dell Server Installation

MENU INDENT 1

KERNEL mboot.32

APPEND -c boot.cfg ks=cdrom:/kickstart/DELL.CFG

 

My second question regards the kickstart file itself. When you install from the kickstart file does the installation reboot once and then execute everything after the following line?

 

%firstboot --interpreter=busybox

 

Thanks!
