I've removed the redirection to /dev/null in the repo rpm part of the
bootstrap script. What I get now is:

[root at cipsrv root]# ./test
Downloading GPG key: http://linux.dell.com//repo/software/RPM-GPG-KEY-dell
    Importing key into RPM.
Downloading GPG key:
http://linux.dell.com//repo/software/RPM-GPG-KEY-libsmbios
    Importing key into RPM.
Failed to download RPM =pri location=:
http://linux.dell.com//repo/software/el3/dell-repository/18-0/noarch/dell-repository-18-0.el3.noarch.rpm
Failed to download RPM =alt location=:
http://linux.dell.com//repo/software/el3/i386/RPMS/dell-repository-18-0.el3.noarch.rpm

So this is the point where it goes wrong.
