If the BIOS does not support USB booting you cannot. Install a PXE boot server on your kickstart server. However, if your system does not support USB boot devices it likely does not support PXE either. Good opportunity to upgrade!!!! -----Original Message----- From: kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Shabazian, Chip Sent: Wednesday, October 11, 2006 10:04 AM To: Discussion list about Kickstart Subject: RE: Kickstarting from a USB Flash Drive? You need to use the diskboot.img file on your USB key, but be aware that this will wipe it out: dd if=diskboot.img of=/dev/sda (assuming sda is your USB drive) I'm assuming RHEL 4 -----Original Message----- From: kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Robert Denton Sent: Wednesday, October 11, 2006 9:45 AM To: Discussion list about Kickstart Subject: Kickstarting from a USB Flash Drive? Hi all. I have a question regarding my kickstart setup that may be a bit out of the scope of this discussion list but I'll give it a try: Currently, I boot new systems to a USB-CDROM drive that has the first install cd in it. I then type: linux ks=http://..... at the boot prompt. I'd love to be able to do the same thing but from a USB Flash Drive (2 gig Corsair Flash Voyager). So I copied the contents of the 1st install cd to the flash drive. Unfortaunately all the boot options in the BIOS don't seem to recognize the USB flash drive. Any suggestions?
