      Description of problem:

      When going through the instructions under "Creating RHCOS machines using an ISO image" I noticed some areas that are incomplete

      Ask user to change "<architecture>" string to their cluster's architecture 

      Step 4 has the command: 

      COS_VHD_ORIGIN_URL=$(oc -n openshift-machine-config-operator get configmap/coreos-bootimages -o jsonpath='{.data.stream}' | jq -r '.architectures.<architecture>.artifacts.metal.formats.iso.disk.location')

       

      which requires the user to replace "<architecture>" with one of our supported architectures which can be found with this command:

       

      # oc -n openshift-machine-config-operator get configmap/coreos-bootimages -o jsonpath='{.data.stream}' | jq -r '.architectures | keys'
      [
        "aarch64",
        "ppc64le",
        "s390x",
        "x86_64"
      ] 

      We should be explicit about telling the user to do this.

      Ignition digest hash is never computed

      Step 7 says "... <digest> is the Ignition config file SHA512 digest obtained in a preceding step." but we do not have a step that computes the digest
