You're approach is all wrong here.. If you are using blades, you are handicapping yourself if you are using a floppy or CD. You need to learn how to use pxelinux, which is part of the syslinux family. Basically you set up a DHCP and tftp server. When the blades PXE is activated, it grabs an IP address and is told to pull a kernel & initrd from the tftp server. It is also told where to find a kickstart file. More information can by found on syslinux.zytor.com. James S.
