Redhat harddrive installation with kickstart file problems
#51

Dear,

I'm trying to install RH9 from my harddrive which has got a vfat (DOS)
partition.
I copied the redhat/rpms and redhat/base dirs from the 3 RH9 CD's to the
root of my dos partition (c:\redhat)
I copied the DOSUTILS dir from the RH9 CD1 to c:\install\dosutils
I want to install RH9 using a kickstart file which is located in the root
(c:\) of the DOS partition.
I start my installation with the following line :
loadlin c:\install\dosutils\autoboot\vmlinuz
initrd=c:\install\dosutils\autoboot\initrd.img ramdisk_size=9216
ks=hd:hda1/ks.cfg

I defined my installation path as followed in my kickstart file (ks.cfg):
harddrive --partition=hda1 --dir=/redhat
harddrive --partition=hda1 --dir=/redhat/
harddrive --partition=hda1 --dir=/
install --harddrive --partition=hda1 --dir=/redhat
install --harddrive --partition=hda1 --dir=/redhat/
install --harddrive --partition=hda1 --dir=/
install --harddrive=hda --partition=hda1 --dir=/redhat
install --harddrive=hda --partition=hda1 --dir=/redhat/
install --harddrive=hda --partition=hda1 --dir=/

None of these options seem to work.
I keep getting the message box seen on tis page
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/install-guide/s1-begin
install-hd.html
"What partition and directory hold the CD (iso9660) images for Red Hat
Linux? If you don't see the disk drive  you're using listed here, press F2
to configure additional devices."
The directory holding the images always shows the dir I specified in the
ks.cfg file.

I this screen is shown, this would mean that the location of the Redhat
files cannot be found on the harddrive ?
Anyone got an idea ?

Regards,

Dennis
