If your goal is to boot off the USB stick and install I have does the
following steps recently with a 4gig flash drive:
1. Need to setup the MBR
- ex. cat /usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin > /dev/sdb
2. Use fdisk to create two partitions and make the first bootable:
- The first should be 14 megs, fs type should be set to "b" (W95 FAT32)
- The second can be the rest of the drive
- Make sure set the boot flag on the first partition (many
instructions I found on the web did not mention and it was key)
3. Now you need to dd off the bootdisk.img on the first disk to the
first partition:
- ex. dd if=/mnt/images/diskboot.img /dev/sdb1
At this point you should have a bootable flash drive and have the
option of creating a file system on the second partition then adding
the ISO(s) to it along with a kickstart config file. I used the
aboved steps on a 4gig stick and was able to put a custom kickstart
config file, along with a DVD iso on the second partition.
How about authoring a HowTo page on the wiki? This is some good stuff I
haven't seen documented anywhere. That's a great idea to use diskboot.img on
one partition with the install image on a second partition.
