Creating boot disk for AS U2 EM64T kickstart

Creating boot disk for AS U2 EM64T kickstart

Hi,

I am trying to create a floppy based kickstart install for a RHEL 3 AS U2 EM64T
machine. I understand that I first need to create the boot disk, (then copy the
ks.cfg file to the floppy) but I can't find bootdisk.img under the images/
directory on CD 1 anywhere.

I've done AS x86 based floppy kickstarts previously without problem, via 'cat
bootdisk.img > /dev/fd0'. Is this possible under EM64T?

'linux ks=floppy' just seems to get ignored while booting from CD 1.

Any thoughts?

Shannon.
