Question How to use a USB stick to install SLES 10 - "No catalog found..."


I'm trying to install SLES 10 from a 4Gb USB Stick. I have followed the instructions from Novell to create the bootable USB. I also used information from this openSUSE forum post. Here is the procedure that I have followed to date:

1. Mount the dvd iso image to drive I: using "Virtual CloneDrive"
2. Copy the entire ISO image I: to the USB stick J:
3. Move all files from J:/boot/i386/loader to J:/
4. Delete J:/isolinux.bin
5. Rename J:/isolinux.cfg to J:/syslinux.cfg
6. Run C:/syslinux/win32/syslinux -ma J:
7. From the J: root, I execute ls -A1 > directory.yast

I can now boot my server from this USB stick. When prompted for a boot option, I enter "linux" to start the install. When the install starts it asks "Make sure that CD number 1 is in your drive." I select "Back" and accept defaults until the source medium comes up. There I select "Hard Disk" and then choose "sdb1 : vfat", and leave the "source directory" blank. The installation then loads and runs just fine until I get to the Installation summary screen. Under the Software heading, YaST is reporting the following error:

No catalog found at 'hd:///?device=/dev/sdb1&filesystem=auto'.

As always, the geek gods will reign favor upon all who answer!

Thanks
Mike
