First, are you using the boot.img file instead of the bootnet.img file used for NFS? Second, to get the ks.cfg file from the CD-ROM, you must patch the loader, or insert it into the initrd.img. Are you booting with a floppy? If not, ks=floppy is trying to get the ks.cfg from the floppy. If you want to boot from the CD, either put your ks.cfg into the initrd.img and use ks=file:/ks.cfg, or fix the loader and put your file anywhere on the cd and use ks=cdrom:<path>/ks.cfg. Both of these methods are in the archive, and there are a few people trying to put all of this info onto a web page. If you read the archives and still have problems, or you need the patch and/or the fixed loader, let me know. Forrest I'm getting an error: cannot find kickstart file: /tmp/ks.cfg My syslinux.cfg says ks=floppy This worked when booting off floppy for NFS, but now its all on a standalone CDROM. What should the parameter be for CD installs? My ks.cfg lives in the bootable portion of the cdrom (an El Torito floppy image). I supposes I could make a copy of the ks.cfg and put it on the cdrom's root and do ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg But that seems redundant?? I would like to test the rest of the automated install before burning another CD-rom by manually entering the boot: parameters. Anybody know? It doesn't appear to be in the manual. Thanks!
