OES2 Yast Installation Server and HTTP network error: 404 Not Found

Configured via YAST, Installation Server, using HTTP with alias of "install" and root most directory of "/install". Copied DVD for SLED10SP1 using YAST Installation Server, selected path /install/sled10sp1. Could browse using Mozilla Firefox both locally on the server and remotely to http:///install/ and http:///install/sled10sp1.

Booted from media and selected installation source: (see screenshot below)



Pressed enter and received "HTTP network error: 404 Not Found" (see screenshot below)

Started a sniffer trace (via tcpdump on the server). Reviewed the sniffer trace conversation thread and found the following:

The CD/DVD (or PXE) installation method is looking for the installation path boot/i386/root appended to the installation directory.

In reviewing the path that exists on the server /install/sled10sp1, there is another directory CD1 that is present before boot/i386/root. The path that had the proper directory for the installation was: /install/sled10sp1/CD1/boot/i386/root not /install/sled10sp1/boot/i386/root

Either copy the contents of CD1's directory structure to the /install/sled10sp1 directory, or specify the installation path as /install/sled10sp1/CD1 and the installation will proceed normally.
