Centos Stream 9 boot iso stuck during kickstart

pk flag

I am trying to install a Centos Stream 9 boot iso on my mac M1 via VMware Fusion. I already solved a lot of issues that were preventing me to start installation. Now I get to the installation (I am using packer and a kickstart file) but it gets stuck on 'Checking storage configuration'. When checking the logs I see following errors:

Sorry for the screenshot but I can't seem to copy paste the errors from my VM.

When searching for these errors I think the 404 is the root cause because no packages will be able to be installed because of this error. However, I tried to change this 'base repo' through the boot command:

"boot_command": [
    "c<wait>",
    "linux /images/pxeboot/vmlinuz inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=CentOS-Stream-9-BaseOS-aarch64 ro ",
    "inst.text biosdevname=0 net.ifnames=0 console=tty0 acpi=off ",
    "inst.repo=https://mirror.netsite.dk/epel/9/Everything/aarch64/ ",
    "inst.addrepo=test,http://fedora.cu.be/epel/9/Everything/aarch64/ ",
    "inst.ks=http://{{ .HTTPIP }}:{{ .HTTPPort }}/ks-{{user `aem_runmode`}}.cfg<enter><wait>",
    "initrd /images/pxeboot/initrd.img<enter>",
    "boot<enter><wait>"
  ],

And in my kickstart file:

repo --name="base" --baseurl=https://mirror.netsite.dk/epel/9/Everything/aarch64/
url --url https://mirror.netsite.dk/epel/9/Everything/aarch64/
cdrom
lang en_US.UTF-8
keyboard us
network --bootproto=dhcp --noipv6 --onboot=on --device=eth0
rootpw --plaintext vagrant

None of these repo's seem to be picked up however. This is my first experience with packer/kickstart/Anaconda so I don't really know what else I can check/try.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
