During a kickstart install, how are drives mapped? I notice that sata0

The sd* letters are simply handed out in order of enumeration and,
as you noted, is not deterministic. If you need that, use the
/dev/disk/by-{id,label,path,uuid} labels.
For this reason we use a script during the kickstart %pre section which
attempts to examine the available drives and determine which is the
appropriate one to install on (also waits for confirmation if an
unexpected partition table is found).

Any chance you can share that script? It sounds interesting!
