I've created an eltorito bootable CD using floppy-disk emulation of a
2.88 floppy disk. This works very nicely, since it allows me to have the
extra room (after rm'ing some .o files) to add the network modules for
my ethernet card.
I'm using redhat 7.3 and have tried using ks=cdrom, ks=file:/ks.cfg, and
ks=floppy. I would assume that ks=floppy would be the most theoretically
correct, since eltorito emulates a floppy disk, but I think that it is
actually looking for the ks.cfg file under /dev/fd0...
I've customized the RH7.3 CD before using this method. When you modify
the syslinux.cfg file to use ks=file, this refers to the file location
of the floppy.initrd image that the CDrom is built on. Therefore, you
need to make sure ks.cfg file is part of your floppy's initrd image.
I followed the instructions from this howto site:
