I'm trying to push an image to both Sun Blades x6220 and Dell Blades m600. 
 Both of these different architectures have Virtual CD-Roms and Virtual 
Floppy drives which are being detected during the install process.  The 
image was created on a Dell Poweredge 2950 running RedHat Enterprise Linux 
4 AS.  I enabled UYOK during image creation and the drivers seem to be 
loading properly for both brands of hardware.

The failing process seems to be the initial format of the hard disk using 
DD.

        run_autoinstall_script
        >>> /scripts/h1.sh
 
        get_arch
        enumerate_disks
        sda
        sdb
        sdc
        DISKS=3
 
        Partitioning /dev/sda...
        Old partition table for /dev/sda:
        Error: Error opening /dev/sda: No medium found
        dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 || shellout
        dd: /dev/sda: No medium found
        Killing off running processes.


And an excerpt from dmesg shows the detection of the CD-Rom.

I've tried to  modify the oscarimage.master script (which is symlinked to 
h1.sh) to specify /dev/sdb instead of /dev/sda, but it has no effect. 
Dev/sda is still being referenced.  I think if I don't use the UYOK kernel 
it will use my modified master install script, but then the SAS hard 
drives aren't accessible.

So, to summarize, I want to either get SIS to use my edited version of the 
installation script and reference /dev/sdb instead of /dev/sda, OR change 
the boot image to properly detect the hard drives as /dev/sda instead of 
/dev/sdb.

Please help.
