harddrive

The harddrive Kickstart command is optional. It performs the installation from a Red Hat installation tree or full installation ISO image on a local drive.

You must format the drive with a file system the installation program can mount: ext2, ext3, ext4, vfat, or xfs. Use this command only once.
