Prevent kickstart to install image on external LUN

The ignoredisk option should do just what you want. To ignore all FC-LUNs, for example, put
Code:
ignoredisk --drives=/dev/disk/by-path/pci-*-fc-*

into your kickstart file. This is documented here: https://github.com/rhinstaller/pykic...rst#ignoredisk
