Hi all, I've got a bit of an issue with reinstalling a server. I can get the installer to boot off a memory stick made with unetbootin, but I can't seem to find the installation files on the stick. I have hda, sda and sdb but none are acceptable install media.
How do I mount the USB stick while in the installer to install off it? DVD isn't an option because it's been removed for a tape drive.
It's probably something simple I'm missing.
If you have, or can set up an NFS server, you can drop the CD or DVD iso images in a directory under it and do an nfs install. If your USB boot setup lets you get a command prompt by hitting a key as it starts you may be able to use 'linux askmethod' to get the net install options to show. Otherwise you can use the bootdisk.img.
