You are refering to ks ... which is a kernel argument, which you then would have to inject into isolinux/grub/whatever boot loader the iso is using.

This is not going to work.
The correct way to handle this is to have extracted kernel, initramfs and possibly squash.
Instead of using bloated and invalid (for networkbooting purpuses) ISOs, the distributions should provide these files on their own, without the need to extract the isos.

Hi NikiZe,
Thanks for your reply. I am actually getting the boot menu for iso with sanboot with http. But it is failing in installation with Error "could not boot. /dev/root does not exist".
For initrd and chain commands, I am getting No Space left on device error (memdisk also didn't helped there). I am not sure what is the option left for me to boot from ISO (without extracting).

Best Regards,
Sumit Tyagi
