      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      Booting from CentOS-Stream-9-20240527.0-x86_64-boot.iso and typing 'e' to add the kernel option 'inst.gpt'. The 'e' key is not recognized as with fedora 40. I need to add 'inst.gpt' for override the ISO's default to MBR partition table format.

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

      CentOS-Stream-9-20240527.0-x86_64-boot.iso

      How reproducible:

      Boot from CentOS-Stream-9-20240527.0-x86_64-boot.iso and try to add "inst.gpt' as the last kernel argument.

       

      Steps to reproduce

      1. At the menu prompt use arrow keys to highlight "Install CentOS 9 Stream"
      2. Press the 'e' key to edit the kernel arguments (as done with Fedora IOS).
      3. The only other key 'Esc' will only get you to the 'boot:' prompt.

      Expected results

      The 'e' key should go into edit mode allowing me to add 'inst.pgt' to the end of the default argument option.

      Actual results

      The 'e' does nothing and this documented RedHat option is not available to add "inst.gpt".
