Hi, probably you have another github repo to build centos8 image using boot.iso but if you need: building packer image centos8 using boot.iso works. You need to change ks.cfg using url installation type instead of cdrom, eg:

url --url http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/centos/8/BaseOS/x86_64/kickstart or url --url http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/centos/8/BaseOS/x86_64/os

"os" version with continuous update applyed "kickstart" version more "stable" following GA update strategy

as explained here: https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2019-September/035984.html
