I do this with my computers for kickstart all of them from a central
server:
To build a bootable memory stick, perform the following steps:
a. Format the USB stick as one big FAT partition: "mkdosfs
/dev/sdb1"
b. Copy everything from the CD:/RedHat/isolinux to the memory
stick. You can omit isolinux.bin, boot.cat, and TRANS.TBL
c. Rename isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg
d. Copy the initrd.img from CD:/RedHat/images/pxeboot to the memory
stick. (At present I believe the two initrd.img's are the same)
e. Modify syslinux.cfg to suit your needs. I specify mine to boot:
linux ks=nfs:myserver:/somedir/ks.cfg
f. Make the memory stick bootable: "syslinux /dev/sdb1". Remember
to unmount the memory stick prior to performing this.
g. Boot from stick
Good luck!

Hello redhat-list,
I have many pc that need to be setup by at least RH 9. Because it so
many, I want to use kickstart. Problem is the pc doesn't have cdrom
or floppy drive, but it can boot from usb drive.
So i want to create a bootable usb drive, so I can setup with
kickstart.
I tried google, and follow some instruction but failed.
Anyone want to give me some clue?
TIA.
