I'd like to know how that was tested. Using libvirt, importing mini.iso
as a USB hard drive (appearing as /dev/sda during installation),
installing on to an IDE disc (appearing as /dev/sdb), leads to the use
of partman-target 94 per syslog, and yet /etc/fstab ends up containing
a /media/usb0 entry:
| # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
| #
| # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
| # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
| # that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
| #
| # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
| # / was on /dev/sdb1 during installation
| UUID=a38aa670-fb4c-4482-8af1-42f34b41ebdb / ext4
errors=remount-ro 0 1
| # swap was on /dev/sdb5 during installation
| UUID=cd9c4a52-91c4-4b44-8d34-c880357974b9 none swap sw
0 0
| /dev/sda1 /media/usb0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
Looking a bit more into it, I tried marking said device as removable in
libvirt, but that didn't seem to make any difference.
It might very well be that I've managed to make a boo-boo while trying
to configure stuff, or that libvirt's support for such things is buggy;
but I haven't managed to trick either kvm/qemu or virtualbox into
booting from removable USB.
Any hints?
