Hello,
I'm trying to install Fedora Core 5 using a boot cd (boot.iso) and a kickstart
floppy stored in a floppy drive (ks.cfg). I can do a manual nfs install, but I'd like
to learn to implement kickstart.
I've done some browsing but found no references to my particular problem.
This is what I've done so far:
[1] created a boot cd with boot.iso.
[2] created a ks.cfg with kickstart configurator and edited the disk partition section.
[3] issued this command to boot using ks.cfg from floppy:
linux ks=floppy:/ks.cfg
The boot proceeds normally, but the install halts with the following error:
"The following error was found while parsing your kickstart configuration"
The following problem occurred in line 31 of the kickstart file:
mount point required for partition"
line 31 refers to the line "part /boot --fstype ext3 size=200"
After having read quite a bit about the subject, I cannot see where the problem might be.
Any ideas what's wrong?
Your help will be appreciated. Thanks in advanced.
This is my ks.cfg:
