Kickstarting from a USB Flash Drive?

[Shabazian, Chip]

You need to use the diskboot.img file on your USB key, but be aware that
this will wipe it out:

dd if=diskboot.img of=/dev/sda (assuming sda is your USB drive)

I'm assuming RHEL 4

Subject: Kickstarting from a USB Flash Drive?

Hi all.  I have a question regarding my kickstart setup that may be a
bit out of the scope of this discussion list but I'll give it a try:

Currently, I boot new systems to a USB-CDROM drive that has the first
install cd in it. I then type:  linux ks=http://..... at the boot
prompt.

I'd love to be able to do the same thing but from a USB Flash Drive
(2 gig Corsair Flash Voyager). So I copied the contents of the 1st
install cd to the flash drive. Unfortaunately all the boot options in
the BIOS don't seem to recognize the USB flash drive. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
