Installation guide

For example, to specifically load a driver diskette that you have created, begin the installation

process by booting from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CD #1 (or using boot media you have

created). For x86-based systems, at the boot: prompt, enter linux dd if using an x86 or x86-64

system. Refer to Section 3.1, “Booting the Installation Program on x86, AMD64, and Intel 64

Systems” for details on booting the installation program. For Itanium systems, at the Shell>

prompt, type elilo linux dd. Refer to Section 3.2, “Booting the Installation Program on Itanium

Systems” for details on booting the installation program.

The Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation program asks you to insert the driver diskette. Once

the driver diskette is read by the installation program, it can apply those drivers to hardware dis-

covered on your system later in the installation process.
