How to create a bootable Fedora 7 install image on a hard drive ?

[Greg Smith]

I want to create a bootable hard drive to start the Fedora 7 install
similar the the F7/images/diskboot.img.  The hard drive will be created
as a USB hard drive on another computer and then installed into the
machine.  Using fdisk to format this drive and dd to copy diskboot.img
to the first partition doesn't work (boot results in a blinking cursor).

Any ideas on how a can create a file similar to diskboot.img but be able
to boot from a hard drive ?

Thanks, Greg Smith
