I am trying to make a bootable USB flash drive. This is just a regular 2 GB PNY flash device from walmart for 12 bucks. Nothing special. I have read a dozen sites how to make this work, and they all focus on formatting the device with fat16. However, I have a PC-BSD image that I dd'd onto it and it boots and works just dandy, however it does not have a fat16 partition on it.
How do I create a bootable flash drive with an ext partition? This really cannot be this complicated, can it? My laptop will boot off a USB device. I tried just creating a partition and formatting it ext2, making it bootable with fdisk and putting what I wanted on it, however I just get errors... and not the kind like my boot scripts are not working. I have so far used GRUB... maybe that is my problem, but everything else uses syslinux, which again, wants fat16... I appreciate any help or pointers, Nathan --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
