install SLES11SP3_x86_64.iso half but need other media sourc

Hi All

I have image SLES11SP3_x86_64.iso (39.778KB) that I think I can install suse SP3 OS on my suse VM. But after boot up from this image Kernel 3.0.76-0.11-default,
it prompt for “choose the source medium”----“DVD/CD-ROM, Network, Hard Disk”. I double checked this iso image are still mounting to this VM, I am not too sure
what it is looking for. Then I tried these 3 options, all failed to find the repository. Can someone advice me what’s the problem here. Thanks.

Best Regards
Emily

The size of your ISO suggests it is not the DVD1 ISO as available for
download from SUSE[1] so I’m guessing it’s a custom ISO with enough to
boot a server then use a network installation to complete. That would
explain why it then asks for a “source medium” as it’s looking for the
bulk of the installation files. Is this the case?

HTH.
