I saw there is a message posted on Feb. 26 talking about this question - booting into a USB hard drive. Andrew said he did it by loading relevant scsi and usb modules. I tried this but failed. I used the boot disk which is created by "mkbootdisk". Then I modified the linuxrc (under initrd.img) file to load these modules. insmode scsi- mod.o insmode sd_mod.o insmode usbcore.o insmode usb-uhci.o insmode usb-storage.o And I put the new root USB device number 0x0801 (/dev/sda1) by echo 0x0801 > /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev. Everything looks successful until I try to mount this new root file system. mount --ro -t ext2 /dev/root /sysroot I got ERROR 19 mounting ... Did I miss something? Should I do anything to detect this USB HDD before I mount it (it usually mounts on /dev/sda1)? I appreciate any suggestion to this problem. Thank you in advance! JOHN
