You can actually just boot with 'linux ks=floppy' and the kickstart config gets loaded off the floppy, you get prompted for the driver disk to get to the install source and you don't have to do any weird shuffling. Will look at making things a little more clear Just to piggy back on this. I opened bug 97164 that kinda touches on this as well. We should be able to kickstart with one single disk. I modified the bootdisk.img and added my net driver manually. The installer bombs out when I try to force the load of the device via 'device eth 3c59x' in the ks.cfg. If I leave out that line, then I get prompted for the net driver and I select from the list without swapping floppy's. However ideally the installer shouldn't crash, but rather load the driver like it's suppose to and every thing is happy. Much like with 7.3 :) Just my 2 cents. A better option for kickstarts would be nice. I have to ask. Why was it changed away from the bootnet.img and boot.img? That seemed to work very well. - Mike This is no longer relevant with changes to how you boot current releases. |
