As I understood Larry he wants to do the following:
- Put the .iso-File somewhere on /dev/hdb
- Boot the RUKE installer
- Use the .iso file instead of the CD
- Install (and partition) only /dev/hda
This should work (he might have to mknod the /dev/hdb partitions by
hand) since he's talking about two physical disks.
