Description

This is what I had in my default ks template:

bootloader --location=mbr --append="nofb quiet splash=quiet --md5pass=<%= root_pass %>"

This generates illegal kernel boot options that cause kernel panic during the boot.

The line should be:

bootloader --location=mbr --append="nofb quiet splash=quiet" --md5pass=<%= root_pass %>
