Anyone tested the ppc boot.iso in RAW hide for Fedora Core 7. I've been netbooting to install as of recent. But I do rember it not being able to boot properly on my pseries workstation when I burned it to a CD. I think that the -map option may have been missing.

test -d boot || mkdir boot mount -o loop boot.iso boot r
