Make Bootable USB Drive
Make Bootable USB Drive with RHEL 6.3
Copy all files for image to a directory, RHEL63KS.
Make the iso image file by typing the following command:
mkisofs -o boot.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -R -J -V RHEL63KS -T ./RHEL63KS
This will create a file called boot.iso. Rename this file, RHEL63KS.iso.
Insert the USB stick and type dmesg to see where the drive is mounted.
