I ended up making my own solution... although its not very secure you could probably do something like this within the kickstart through snippets.
1. install wget 2. download epel 3. install koan and other required tools 4. setup bmc and system using ipmitools and system acquired variables 5. register with cobbler using acquired variables 6. set the register the bmc settings with cobbler This is basically a brief outline of how I have my setup to complete automated installs... its a complete hack and not very clean but it gets the job done until I get around to cleaning it up and doing it through proper programming. for the record, I couldn't get the cobbler_register script to work either... although I didn't try for too long.
