[WBEL-users] Like a rescue CD, . but not really - to load various distributions from Network

[Alon]

Hi Will,

With the help of a friend who started the initial steps, the syslinux.cfg is
the one that is pulling up with the menu items.
So,. my initial steps were pre-done for me.

I modified the syslinux.cfg slightly - it had its own kernel and was booting 
into a kernel my friend put on it.
I then changed the
KERNEL kernel
to
KERNEL memdisk

and indeed the menu loaded the correct image.

so,. now I'm pulling up the White Box Installation setup, but encountering a 
problem:

I want to do an FTP or HTTP installation. When I select either one of
them, I'm being prompted with:

No driver found.
Unable to find any devices of the type needed for this installtion type.
Would you like to manually select your driver or use a driver disk?


What am I missing from the boot process to make this work? (need network 
services to be able to config network device).
