      Description of problem:

       Documentation is missing on how to satellite as a content source while booting up a system with boot iso downloaded from access.redhat.com

      Steps to include in provisioning doc :

      1. Boot the server with the downloaded boot iso

      2. Register the server to satellite/capsule using activation key

      3. Select installation source as satellite.

      4. After satellite is selected for installation source , click on additional repositories [+ sign],
      Provide a name like new_repo_baseos
      Select https and provide the published path for kickstart base os repo for version of the os you want to provision [9.4 as an example in this case]

      An example from my satellite would be:
      smajumda-rhsat.syslab.pnq2.redhat.com/pulp/content/RedHat/Library/content/dist/rhel9/9.4/x86_64/baseos/kickstart/

      2. Click on + sign again and add another repo
      Provide a name like new_repo_appstream
      Select http this time and provide the published path of the kickstart appstream repo

      An example from my satellite would be:
      https://smajumda-rhsat.syslab.pnq2.redhat.com/pulp/content/RedHat/Library/content/dist/rhel9/9.4/x86_64/appstream/kickstart/

      Hit Done.

      Continue with other selection in the installation form as required

      Business Impact / Additional info:

       Without this steps we cannot provision systems while using the boot iso.

      These steps need to be mentioned somewhere in the provisioning doc.
