problem installing fedora core 4 from USB DVD

problem installing fedora core 4 from USB DVD

Hello all,

  I'm using a laptot (Acer aspire 1355LM), which has an internal DVD (pionner).
This DVD is broken so I have to do the installation from an external USB NEC
DVD-RW.

  The installation process starts without problems from that, I can see the boot
screen, press intro and kernel boots up. I can see a text message "Loading
ohci1394 driver", after that I have to select a language, after that I select
keyboard type and here comes the problem, installation request me to select
"the installation method", obviously I select CD/DVD  and installation program
says "CD not found".
 
  It is trying to find the DVD into the broken pionner DVD (a message "trying to
mount /dev/hdc" can be seen in one of the messages screens ALT+F3) and I don`t
know how to make it to look for DVD in external  NEC DVD.

  I've tried to boot in expert mode,
    boot: expert

  but I couldn`t find a command shell anywhere. I've also tried to load usbcore
and/or usb_storage at booting time with module=usbcore module=usb_storage but
it didn't work.

  Any ideas??

  Thanks a lot.

  Gustavo.
