Kickstart: Fedora Core 2 (Tettnang)

[Garcia, Kanchana]

Okay, figured this one out...  you have to use the following when booting
off the Zip/Pen-drive/Rescue CD:

boot: linux ks=floppy:/ks.cfg

I've noticed that kickstart has changed in Core 2...  They done away with
bootdisk.img, drvnet.img and the such...  It's replaced now with
diskboot.img.  (This means you can no longer kickstart using diskettes - the
image is much too large for a 1.44 diskette)

I've been able to create a boot Zipdisk - `dd if=diskboot.img of=/dev/hdd4`
- and can get it to boot...  BUT, I can't get it to recognize the ks.cfg
file.  As a side note, you can also write this image to a pen drive (just
use /dev/sda1) but your BIOS must be able to boot from this device.

At the boot prompt, I've tried...  linux ks=floppy, ks=/dev/hdd4,
ks=/mnt/zip, ks=zipdisk ...  NO LUCK.

I've also tried this as well:

	Boot from the zipdisk, then at the boot prompt: linux ks=floppy

	Put a diskette with the ks.cfg file in the floppy drive.

I see the floppy drive accessed, but it still doesn't find the ks.cfg file.

Does anyone know what they've changed the commands to OR how to specify
where the ks.cfg file resides?
	
Thanks!
