 the file:///pathtofile seems to work really well if you imbed the
control file in the initrd.
Unzip initrd, mount it as a loop device, copy the control file to the
right path, umount the initrd, zip it back up and make a new CD.

I tried with three slashes, eg, file:///d8 and I'm still getting the
error. Is this supposed to work?

I'm trying to do a NFS based autoyast install, but I'm booting off a
CDROM I created that only contains the 5 files:

isolinux.bin
isolinux.cfg
linux
initrd
d8  <--- my autoyast control file

In my isolinux.cfg I have:

label sl93ay
kernel linux
append initrd=initrd install=nfs://10.100.0.254/export/netinstall/SL9.3
ip=10.100.0.8 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=10.100.0.254
nameserver=10.100.0.254 textmode=1 autoyast=file:///d8

I still get an error saying it can't read the file.

If I place the autoyast file on a NFS server and change the autoyast=
like to point to it, it installs OK. So I know the syntax is valid
inside the "d8" file.
