Kickstart file on USB floppy with Model SC1435

[amos.wai at asia.bnpparibas.com]

Thanks.  But I'm using USB floppy / thumb drive to store the kickstart file
but not able to make it read by the installation.

Later on I found this message thread from this helpful forum:
http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2007-January/029458.html

Should this also solve my problem come acrossed?  (with syntax: linux
ks=hd:sdb1/ks_file.cfg)?

Regards,
Amos

That's correct and works with a standard floppy drive.  Not sure
about a USB floppy.

These are incorrect.  Should be:

  ks=hd:sdb1:/ks.cfg
            ^
(extra colon needed).
