Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
       installing on vmware by way of PXE using netboot initrd
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
       creating a local repo cloning the ISO, with the addition of the
       scsi-common-modules
   * What was the outcome of this action?
       installation was successful 
   * What outcome did you expect instead?

This is not a bug in this package.  I also don't understand how it's a
bug in the netboot image - it is not supposed to include most storage
drivers, but will download them as needed.

Bear in mind that the netboot kernel and initrd need to exactly match
the kernel version in the archive, so the netboot files for 7.4 and
earlier will no longer work.

Ben.
