This could be used as an alternative to kickstart CentOS installation as RHEL 8 removed floppy support.

This should be analogous to floppy_files, floppy_dirs and floppy_img_path as far as I understand.

If this is implemented it would also be useful to be able to label the drive, e.g. OEMDRV allows redhat-based systems to automatically start the kickstart installation
