Thanks to all those who responded the missing piece of data was indeed
you MUST use the DVD, the CD which mentioned in several places simply
doesn't work as it doesn't have the required files.

It also still shocks me that the emergency holographic shell still
doesn't have mount_ufs which pretty much makes it useless :(
