Package: debian-installer Version: 20090123lenny1 Severity: wishlist I tried to follow the instruction at http://debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch04s03.html.en as closely as possible:
$ sudo syslinux /dev/sda1 $ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt $ (cd /mnt; sudo wget http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/i386/initrd.gz) $ (cd /mnt; sudo wget http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/i386/linux) $ (cd /mnt; sudo sh -c 'echo -en "default linux\nappend initrd=initrd.gz\n" > syslinux.cfg') $ install-mbr /dev/sda1 $ sudo umount /mnt but when I tried to boot from the usb stick I got the error message "no bootable partition found". I ran cfdisk and noticed that indeed bootable flag indeed is not set. Shouldn't the manual mention that? -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.28lindi1 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
