And that was it. That's not with "linux dd", it's later when anaconda by itself specifically allows me to provide the driver when it needs it. It allows me to pick filenames from the media. Very well. But what kind of file does it expect? If it expects me to select a dd image file. Well, I have already done that and it fails. That's why I'm asking what kind of file that anaconda dialog expects. If it expects something other than a floppy image then it's obvious why it fails.
