CentOS - Nov 2017 - Kickstart and nvme0n1

Hi all.

In recent hardware the first disk has device name nvme0n1 rather then sda

How do you tell kickstart to use the first available disk? No matter if
it is called sda or nvme0n1?

e.g. part /boot --fstype="xfs"  --ondisk=sda --size=1000

I've never tried it, but the Redhat kickstart docs mention the
'part'
option '--onbiosdisk':

The Redhat kickstart docs don't give any clues as to what the 
argument(s) should be - but a quick google gives:

So, maybe '--onbiosdisk=80' _might_ do what you need ?
