According to Shawn Craver: While burning my CPU.

If i understand correctly, you have copied a complete redhat install version
onto a Harddrive and you want to install that version onto another drive
right.??

Then you must have the same directory structure as a distro CD, so my
conclusion is that the path which you are giving is false.

I have experianced this very same problem, a friend burned me a cdrom of 5.2
but he put all the suff into a directory called i386, wrong, it dont work
like that, the bootdisks look for a directory called "RedHat"

I am guessing here, so if thats not what your trying to do, please enlighten
me.
