I can confirm that in the /images directory of CD1 are the kernel and initrd needed to boot the installer system.
No, IBM will not support DB2 running on this distribution. I don't imagine too many ISVs will either. Companies/people would _hope_ that IBM and others would do so but the response has been pretty disappointing so far. I understand that getting products certified on multiple platforms is very expensive, but it is still disappointing.

The very road you're treading down with DB2 is the EXACT reason why I'm investigating TAO. Does IBM sanction running DB2 on this release? Will companies expect vendors, like us, to support our DB2 tools on this release? These are the kinds of questions I'm asking myself and eventually will have to respond to from others. So, I have to decide whether or not to install TAO and experiment with it (which I will probably do). I certainly didn't mean to start a flaming war with this thread, nor was it my intent to insult the author or others.

Yes, TAO provides the image(s) to IPL it in VM. You need to upload the images to VM. I've already installed TAO a couple of weeks ago and am working on installing DB2.
