R710 bootable update iso failure
I've used this process to update other powerdge firmware with no problem: http://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/04/sln296511/updating-dell-poweredge-servers-via-bootable-media-iso?lang=en http://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/04/sln296810/creating-a-bootable-usb-device-with-rufus-for-updating-dell-poweredge-servers?lang=en
Attempts to do the same for an R710 using the Feb 2 2018 iso @ https://dell.app.box.com/v/BootableR710 fail with errors below after booting from the usb stick. Got same errors booting the stick from a Dell desktop as well just for testing. Tried recreating the stick from a new iso download on another pc also using Rufus as well. Suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks! This helped me out, but I did have some minor issues still. /dev/cdrom[n] wasn't found, so I ran
in order to show the devices available. In my case, the USB drive was present as /dev/sdc1 (matched by the vfat filesystem and the CDROM label that Rufus has set.)
