The objective is to follow
<http://www.scientificlinux.org/distributions/6x/build/sites> to build
a common Server Only CD suitable for use as the base for
single-purpose-built servers and then yum the server's only reason for
existence from a local repo of current vintage (BIND-9.7.3 and DHCP
4.1-ESV-R1  e.g.).

While successful with 5rolling boot.iso, 6rolling's boot.iso is
complaining that install.img can't be found.

The code tries to load updates.img (0%), product.img (0%) and
install.img(0%) and always terminates with a failure regarding finding
install.img.

The only thing out of the ordinary is that boot: is being passed
enough information to load-and-go on a Compaq Proliant 1850R, after
observing that FC14 and SL6 produce the same errors on the console log
when booting, whereas SL5 boots without a problem.

The URL variants which have been tried (based on the wording of the
prompt, which may be misunderstood) are:

Thanks for advising re the cockpit error if one exists.
