> I am booting from a DVD via a usb device. The computer only has a cd drive and the Live-Desktop image is > 700 MB so I have to use a DVD to boot the Desktop DVD.
One of my boxes has CD only, and USB1.1 only. I plug in an external DVD
with USB2.0 interface into a PCMCIA (cardbus) card which has USB2.0 ports.
With the full DVD in the external drive, then I boot netinst.iso from
internal CD, changing the kernel parameter to
root=cd:LABEL=the_actual_label
where any <Space> characters in the DVD label should be entered as "\\x20"
using two backslashes (one for the bootstrap program, one to pass along.)
In case of total disaster:
root=/dev/sr1 # or whatever the actual DVD device is;
# look when some existing linux is running.
The most important part is, what is the actual label?
In the dracut emergency shell:
cd /dev/disk/by-label
echo *
