Description of problem:
While hacking around in the stage2 image, searching for a way to do a harddrive install from another system, I probably found a bug in anaconda. Explicitly, what I really try to do, is to install RHEL into a directory, like Debian's debootstrap. This may or may not be supported by RedHat, but the code lays there, and looks like it's more or less ready to be used.

When I run anaconda with --method hd://hda1/RedHat , it just spits a python traceback at me. I think this is the correct way of saying "Install from /dev/hda1, directory /RedHat".

# anaconda --text --noselinux --method hd://hda1/RedHat  
Probing for video card:   ATI Radeon 7000
Probing for monitor type:   Unknown monitor
Probing for mouse type:   No - mouse
Graphical installation not available...  Starting text mode.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 1040, in ?
    i = string.index(tmpmethod, ":")
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.3/string.py", line 145, in index
    return s.index(*args)
ValueError: substring not found



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run the comand # anaconda --text --noselinux --method hd://hda1/RedHat  


  

Actual Results:  python spits traceback

Expected Results:  The installer should continue, trying to install from /dev/hda1
