I tried this about a month ago, but couldn't find out what would be 
needed. I understand though that the 80M rescue cd contains a much wider 
range of device and logical drivers than the boot.iso, and it may just 
be a matter of passing the correct value in the boot: prompt or in the 
hard disk method ?

I resorted to making some /home/install space on an ext3 drive so that 
the isos would be available; I have also got around it by mounting the 
iso's on another machine and making them available over ftp. (for dvd 
mount on eg disc, while for CD mkdirs of disc1, d2, d3, d4 etc and give 
the disc1 folder as the image location.
