5.6.5. Using a Provided Kickstart File

If you do not want to create your own .wks file, you can use a provided file. Use the following command to list the available files:

     $ wic list images
     mkefidisk Create an EFI disk image
     directdisk Create a 'pcbios' direct disk image
                 

When you use a provided file, you do not have to use the .wks extension. Here is an example in Raw Mode that uses the directdisk file:

     $ wic create directdisk -r <rootfs_dir> -b <bootimg_dir> \
           -k <kernel_dir> -n <native_sysroot>
                

Here are the actual partition language commands used in the mkefidisk.wks file to generate an image:

     # short-description: Create an EFI disk image
     # long-description: Creates a partitioned EFI disk image that the user
     # can directly dd to boot media.

     part /boot --source bootimg --ondisk sda --fstype=efi --label msdos --active --align 1024

     part / --source rootfs --ondisk sda --fstype=ext3 --label platform --align 1024

     part swap --ondisk sda --size 44 --label swap1 --fstype=swap

     bootloader --timeout=10 --append="rootwait rootfstype=ext3 console=ttyPCH0,115200 console=tty0 vmalloc=256MB snd-hda-     intel.enable_msi=0"
