OK I got passed this issue by issuing "linux ramdisk_size=100000" at the boot prompt, for some reason this isn't working when I use si_mkautobootcd append command.

It totally skips over my local.cfg on the floppy.
It's looking for ext2 or ext3 on the floppy, is there something I need to do to use a fat formatted floppy disk?

Thanks,

I'm having trouble, and I think it's probably a RAM disk issue. I've tried making the ramdisk larger using --append "vga=extended initrd=initrd.img root=/dev/ram ramdisk_size=200000" with si_mkautoinstallcd. I also tried to set it in /etc/systemimager/pxelinux.cfg/syslinux.cfg by adding:
tempfs_size=200M

I create the image with si_preparecleint
I get the image with si_getimage --golden-client
I then make the boot cd for the image:

si_mkautoinstallcd --kernel /var/lib/systemimager/images/rh2/etc/systemimager/b oot/kernel --initrd /var/lib/systemimager/images/rh2/etc/systemimager/boot/initr d.img --append "vga=extended initrd=initrd.img root=/dev/ram ramdisk_size=200000
" --out-file /var/lib/systemimager/rh2.iso

I boot from the cd created from rh2.iso and I use a floppy with this local.cfg:

#local.cfg on floppy
 HOSTNAME=rh2
 DOMAINNAME=unixsamurai.com
 DEVICE=eth0
 IPADDR=192.168.1.243
 NETMASK=255.255.255.0
 NETWORK=192.168.1.0
 BROADCAST=192.168.1..255
 GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
 GATEWAYDEV=eth0
 IMAGESERVER=192.168.1.242
 IMAGENAME=rh2

but no matter what I get this error:

RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
RAMDISK: incomplete write (-28 != 32768) 16777216
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 140k freed

EXT2-fs error (device ram0): ext2_get_inode: unable to read inode block - inode
289, block=16387
Warning: unable to open an initial console.

Am i missing a step or setting a parameter incorrectly?

Thanks,
