Hi,

solved the problem. Should have read the documentation more carefully.

intall=cd:///inst/media/sles/10/sp2/i586/CD1 does it

Hi,

I have a question regarding installation from CD/DVD.
Is it possible to have the installation source at a DVD where the product
files do not exist at
the root of the DVD?

My DVD layout looks like that:
/boot, /grub, /inst/media/sles/10/sp2/i586/CD1,
/inst/media/oes2/sp1/i586/CD1
I'm using grubs eltorito stage to make the image bootable - that works fine
with network installation sources.

The content of SLES10-SP2 DVD is on the media below
/inst/media/sles/10/sp2/i586/CD1

I tried install=cd:/hdc path=/dev/hdc/inst/media/sles/...
install=cd:/dev/hdc patch=/dev/hdc/inst/media/sles/...
...
But it didn't work.

I'm wondering if it is possible to accomplish this task at all. /dev/hdc as
path argument seems wrong for me cause
/dev/hdc is a block device which should be mounted.

I'm also thinking about mounting the DVD via exec parameter at bootloader
prompt and point the installation source to the mountpoint. But
at first I would like to hear your advises.

Thanks,
Jochen
