I am using the boot-RHEA-1999:044.img image off RedHat's web site.
Install in expert mode
Machine boots off floppy
Installer screen comes up with "Insert driver disk"
-> cancel
I get to select language, keyboard, and local cdrom as install medium
Next message: "I don't have any special device drivers loaded for your
system. Would you like to add some now?"
I select "Done", then the installer dies with "exec: Permission denied"
and I am told that I can safely reboot now.
How do I create a DOS disk with CD drivers?
