diskboot.img vfat image is gone in v6.1 ?

Post by vilius » 2011/12/13 10:52:11

Hello,

If I needed to install from usb I always used /images/diskboot.img vfat image, but in version 6, this image is gone.

I suppose they removed that because another method is available ?

thanks,
Vilius

/images/install.img

See the [url=http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html-single/Installation_Guide/index.html#s1-steps-network-installs-x86-nfs]upstream Installation Guide[/url].

Hi,

Any ways to mount it using loop device ?
It's certainly not vfat and not iso9660 image - I was unable to loop mount it.

thanks,
Vilius
