I know this is a long shot but I am hoping someone has an answer. I have
been booting from a CD when I install FAI. I now have a machine without
a CD-ROM drive. I know I should set up PXE eventually but for today, i'd
like to boot from a flash drive. I know I can just copy an ISO file to a
thumb drive to make it boot. This works with the debian netinst image
and grml. So if your debian netinst images is called debian.iso, you can
do this to create a bootable thumbedrive:
cp debian.iso /dev/sdb
But if I do that with my FAI ISO, it does not work. The thumb drive is
not bootable. I did double check that my FAI ISO image is bootable. If I
write it to a CD, it boots.
wodim fai.iso
This gives me a bootable CD. But the following does not give me a
bottable thumb drive:
cp fai.iso /dev/sdb
