Installation methods supported by bootdisk.img ...

All,

Playing with Tao 1.0 for the first time.  Adapted my old kickstart procedures
for Tao, created the boot disk with dd if=./bootdisk.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k,
etc.  This image file is advertised to work "for all installation types", but
I do not get what I expect when I respond to boot:  ... with linux ks ... as in:

boot: linux ks <cr>

which should request a fully dhcp driven installation in which my server supplies 
the IP address, the location of the kickstart file, etc., and just runs.   Instead 
I am dropped into the installation procedure and prompted for language type, 
type of install (NFS, FTP, HTTP, etc.), etc. which I do not want.

I do not see a bootnet.img file around which is what I have used in the past for
these types of DHCP driven installations of RedHat.  Is this bootdisk.img file 
capable of a network install of the type described?  I appears that the DHCP server
is responding because with the correct addresses because when I return to the 
panel asking for network (BACK button) information in has been filled in ...

Any suggestions ... this must be something trivial.
