USB boot needs a small delay during kernel init, so apply one of these patches to your kernel: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=100912381726661&w=2 or http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-usb-users&m=100408963708374&w=2 and let us know the results. | Btw, this is what I did to mount my USB floppy : | | # mount /dev/sda /mnt/floppy | | This works but I'm not sure if this is the correct way.
