I think I know what the problem is, but I'm not sure how to compensate for it.
Here's the symptom:
So, I created USB autoinstall disks yesterday and imaged a classroom of Dell
170Ls. With visions of them all working this morning, I left. This morning was
not so rosy. I had not re-installed

There may be a setting in the bios which lets you select how the USB key is
mounted (either floppy or virtual hard disk) I wouldn't know why you're having
this problem really, it seems like you could boot all of these boxes over the
LAN and install simultaneously. That's what we do here.
Well, I don't control the network here, I can't make any changes to the DHCP
server, so network booting is not possible AFAIK, and since the 170Ls don't
have CD drives, USB keys are my only choice.
Hmmm, looking in the BIOS of the 170Ls, I'm remembering I had to turn on the
floppy drive in
We've been using SIS for a while now (in fact, I'm sure we need to
update) and are very happy with it. So I feel a little funny asking
this question since it seems like a no-brainer and we should already
know the answer. Nonetheless, the fact remains that we have not
figured out how
Hey,
Not too difficult to implement once you know about it, but took me some
documentation trudging to figure out.
When GETTING the image, using si_getimage, just add the switch --post-install
reboot at the end, and the autoinstall script will be updated accordingly.

I've been following http://wiki.systemimager.org/index.php/HOWTO_Implement

Yeah, that's the first one I checked, and it was already installed, I believe

So, I've learned that until I get SystemImager working with bittorrent, I can't
image more than a classroom (32 workstations) at a time.
I just attempted to image two classrooms at a time, and even after running a
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop and closing down the GUI on my server to clear out

Hello,
I have hard time with installing Image to a client.
I used systemimager v3.8.0 rpm and PXE.
During installation I get blank screen when 50% of my image was
transfered,
and it doesn't reboot when it had enough time to finish the
installation.
I checked on the rsycnd logs and find
