For some reason the bootable thumb drive I made (for Slackware64-15.0) now
asks to load PXE to install over the network rather than from the flash
drive itself.

I have the usbboot.img file and the flash drive is seen by the kernel:
Mar 23 11:04:35 salmo kernel: [246888.820945]  sdg: sdg1 sdg2
Mar 23 11:04:35 salmo kernel: [246888.827498] sd 10:0:0:0: [sdg] Attached SCSI 
removable disk
Mar 23 11:04:55 salmo kernel: [246909.135961] FAT-fs (sdg1): Can't find a valid 
FAT filesystem
Mar 23 11:04:59 salmo kernel: [246913.165744] FAT-fs (sdg): Can't find a valid 
FAT filesystem

Why sdg has two partitions I don't know. My question is to which device name
I point dd's of=? /dev/sdg or /dev/sdg1. Or should I use cfdisk to
re-partition the drive?

TIA,

Rich
