Description Peter Robinson 2015-05-12 16:14:34 UTC 
The Fedora cloud images use the following kickstart option for disk partitioning because a boot/swap partition isn't needed or useful.

zerombr
clearpart --all
part / --size 3000 --fstype ext4

The issue is that some virtual HW needs some other options like /boot/efi for virt platforms that use uEFI boot or PrEP for POWER platforms which are handled well with autopart in an architecture independent manner.

It would be useful to have --noboot and --noswap options for the autopart option as a result. That way something like the following could be used for all architectures:

autopart --nolvm --noboot --noswap
