Hello all.
Been having some fun trying to get a MacBook Pro to boot from USB.
Following some info I got from here
https://bugs.launchpad.net/puredyne-live/+bug/508802 I am able to boot from
USB and can get partway into the puredyne 9.11 boot process but I run into a
problem loading initramfs. It says something about not being able to find a
medium.
Right now I have one FAT 32 partition that I simply copied the contents of a
Live 9.11 CD into, plus an efi/ that I got from ccobb. I get to a grub
menu, I can select my Puredyne menu entry, find the kernel, and start the
boot process. It begins to hang at the initramfs part, and returns an error
Unable to find a medium containing a live file system.
This might just have something to do with my GRUB2 config, I have yet to
master the intricacies of writing a grub2 menu entry, especially for a live
system.
Here's my menu entry now:
# grub.cfg for MBP USB Install F11
# Timeout for menu
timeout=20
default=0
set F1=ctrl-x
set F2=ctrl-c
set color_normal=yellow/blue
menuentry "Puredyne Carrot and Coriander" {
linux /live/vmlinuz ramdisk_size=1000000 boot=live
automatic-ubiquity file=/pure.seed quickreboot username=lintian
hostname=puredyne union=aufs video=efifb noefi agp=off
initrd /live/initrd.img
}
menuentry “REBOOT” {
reboot
}
Any thoughts? I've been messing with different options and for a while now
and am giving it up for the day. Thanks.
