Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers How to perform kickstart installation with virtual floppy image from ILO console? Post 303033307 by Neo on Wednesday 3rd of April 2019 06:02:12 AM

I'm not a kickstart expert, but what "jumps out at me" is the fact you are formatting your floppy disk as msdos .

On the surface, this seems odd to me; as I would expect you to format a kickstart floppy disk with a different filesystem.

Of course, If you want a blank Linux formatted floppy, then you can use the command mke2fs. This will create an ext2 formatted disk.
