Hello, 
 
I am having some problems with my install disk. I am planning to use a
USB thumb drive which I set up with: 
 
si_mkautoinstalldisk --device /dev/sdc1 --config /tmp/local.cfg 
 
After it was finished I mounted the USB drive and checked, my local.cfg
file was there and everything looked right. 
 
HOSTNAME=stout  
DOMAINNAME=umdl.umich.edu  
DEVICE=eth0  
IPADDR=141.211.175.163  
NETMASK=255.255.252.0  
NETWORK=141.211.172.0  
BROADCAST=141.211.175.255  
GATEWAY=141.211.172.1  
GATEWAYDEV=eth0  
IMAGESERVER=141.211.175.2  
IMAGENAME=ipa.umdl.umich.edu 
 
However when I boot off the USB disk first I see an error: Unknown
Keyword in syslinux.cfg and then it starts trying to contact the DHCP
server. There is no DHCP server for it to contact so eventually it fails
out and dumps me in a shell. 
 
I have looked at my syslinux.cfg file but I am unable to figure out what
the unknown keyword is. I have not modified this file myself it is the
default.

Any help with this issue is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
