I downloaded the whole Suse 7.3 distribution and prepared for an
installation from the hard drive (separate disk with one single FAT32
partition), decompressing the inst-img etc ...

After a large number of tries with the 7.3 bootdisk I was about to give up
on always the same message "cannot find the image".

I then tried with the 7.2 bootdisk, and guess what, the installation finds
the partition and even continues the rest of the installation. It then fails
a little later on the configuration setting.

My conclusion from this excercise is that there is a change on the 7.3
bootdisk, e.g. it does not allow to read FAT32 partitions.

Anyone knows how to correct the 7.3 bootdisk ?
