Subject: installing rh 7.2 on ia64


hi all,

we run a cluster of 64 dual-processor itanium2 boxes (hp server rx2600) 
which is currently running debian.

my question regards how i might boot into the rh7.2 install seeing as 
there is no iso for ia64 (to my knowledge), so a bootable cd is not an 
option... or is it?  is there a way to create a bootable rh7.2 cd without 
the iso?

apparently the use of an LS-120 disk drive is common practice to boot the 
image, but unfortunately the rx2600 only ships with a cd drive.

i look forward to hearing any comments, helpful or not!

thanks in advance,
