Red Hat Enterprise Linux Installation Guide 5.2 - linux.meuhobby.com

Chapter 17. Installing on IBM System z Systems
When the loader starts, several screens appear for selecting the installation method.
4. Installing from a Hard Drive (DASD)
The Select Partition screen applies only if you are installing from a disk partition (that is, if you
selected Hard Drive in the Installation Method dialog). This dialog allows you to name the disk
partition and directory from which you are installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Enter the device name of the partition containing the Red Hat Enterprise Linux ISO images.
This partition must be formatted with a ext2 or vfat filesystem, and cannot be a logical volume.
There is also a field labeled Directory holding images.
If the ISO images are in the root (top-level) directory of a partition, enter a /. If the ISO images
are located in a subdirectory of a mounted partition, enter the name of the directory holding the
ISO images within that partition. For example, if the partition on which the ISO images is
normally mounted as /home/, and the images are in /home/new/, you would enter /new/.
After you have identified the disk partition, the Welcome dialog appears.
5. Installing via NFS
The NFS dialog applies only if you are installing from an NFS server (if you selected NFS Image
in the Installation Method dialog).
Enter the domain name or IP address of your NFS server. For example, if you are installing from
a host named eastcoast in the domain example.com, enter eastcoast.example.com in the
NFS Server field.
Next, enter the name of the exported directory. If you followed the setup described in Section 4,
“Preparing for a Network Installation”, you would enter the directory /export/directory/.
If the NFS server is exporting a mirror of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation tree, enter the
directory which contains the root of the installation tree. You will enter an Installation Key later
on in the process which will determine which subdirectories are used to install from. If
everything was specified properly, a message appears indicating that the installation program
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux is running.
