If you put the autoyast file on the same cd/dvd as where you boot from you can just use: autoyast=file:///autoinst.xml regards, Winfried On Jun 16, 2011, at 16:07 , Froggatt David wrote:
Hi,
Installing SLES 10.3, I'd like to pull the autoyast xml file from the small custom ISO/CD I've booted from, whilst using an FTP site as the location for the install files. For a particular machine I can do this OK with something like this in the isolinux.cfg: autoyast=device://hdc/autoinst.xml install=ftp://
/sles10.sp3.64/ However, depending on the machine the CD might actually be hda or sr0 or something else, in which case I'll get an error saying the profile can't be found. I'd therefore like a more general 'autoyast=' statement that will find the xml file no matter what the CD's device name.
Using 'autoyast=default' doesn't seem to work, as I think the fact that my installation source is FTP means that it's looking there rather than the CD. I realise that I could also grab the xml file via FTP, but the way we install servers it would me much more convenient to have it on the CD.
Any suggestions as to how I can always find the xml file no matter what the CD device name gratefully received.
Regards, David
