AutoYaST1 can't find infofile

Hi.

I'm new to autoinstall. I'm using AutoYast1 for now. I've made
a boot floppy for nfs installs, but linuxrc can't find the infofile.
I have it on the bootdisk as /suse/setup/descr/info. Linuxrc starts,
I get a screen in color saying "Searching for Infofile". After 3 seconds
I get a mono screen saying "Can't open cdrom".

I tried copying it to the root directory as well.

Is this a permissions issue, or should the file be renamed?
