installation on the Red Hat, Inc. website ( https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_
enterprise_linux/8/html/performing_an_advanced_rhel_installation/index ).
To configure the TFTP server, set grub.cfg.
To connect the console, add the following kernel option to the grub.cfg configuration file.
Example: grub.cfg
2. Prepare a kickstart file.
Configure an HTTP server, and set the kickstart file.
For details, see "Making a Kickstart file available on an HTTP or HTTPS server" in Performing an
advanced RHEL installation on the Red Hat, Inc. website ( https://access.redhat.com/documentation/
en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/performing_an_advanced_rhel_installation/index ).
To connect the console, add the following parameter to "bootloader --append=" in the kickstart file.
Example:
3. Connect the console.
