No need for "ignition". This has worked since grub and anaconda were
created by using '%pre' scripts in anaconda to pre-partition the
file-system and potentially insert other pre-configuration steps in
it. If ignition has new integration features rather than the manual
scripting I used to do, great. But ignition is not required for this.
