Kickstart installation from USB medium to USB medium

Hello community,

 

I used to install my servers via the internal CD drive with an automated kickstart installation to an internal SD card. The internal SD card is recognized as a USB device.

 

"install --firstdisk=usb --overwritevmfs --novmfsondisk"

 

This line always worked fine for me. However my new servers don't have an internal cd drive any more, so I tried to use an external DVD drive. But now it tries to install the hypervisor to the external DVD drive, which of course is not working. If I use an external USB drive as installation medium, the hypervisor gets installed from the external USB drive to the external USB drive. This works, but is not what I want of course.

 

Obviously the external USB devices a recognized as first suitable disk for the installation.

 

Has anybody a solution for this issue?
