Problem
Imagine you have a server that wont boot from USB CDROM drive or have no internal CDROM drive. Or even you prefer to install from a USB stick instead a physical media.
Solution
Create a USB stick with SME software on it
Requirements
You'll need a stick with more than XXX
Format it as XXXX
mount SME server image on a linux machine:
mount /path/to/image/SME8b7.iso /mnt/pendrive
Creating USB stick
copy the file /images/boot.iso, and renamed to SMEboot.iso.
On USB edit the menu.lst to include this
title find and load SMEboot.iso fallback 7 find --set-root /SMEboot.iso map /ubcd.iso (0xff) || map --mem /SMEboot.iso (0xff) map --hook chainloader (0xff) savedefault --wait=2
