It turns out that the PXE entry (tftp) includes three elements, vmlinuz, 
initrd, and inst.repo. This despite the fact that the kickstart file 
also includes the installation repo reference in the "url" entry. In 
this cases, the inst.repo was wrong.

I find it strange that the design requires the same reference in two 
places (inst.repo and url) and doesn't verify they are the same.
