hey, im trying to stick toms boot onto a usb key drive.. My thinkpad supports booting from it, but I cant seem to get it to work.. Heres what I did.. 1. got the tomsrtbt-2.0.103.ElTorito.288.img.bz2 and uncompressed it.. made an iso image with it mkisofs -b boot/tomsrtbt-2.0.103.ElTorito.288.img -c boot.catalog -o bootme.iso myusb
then did the dd if=bootme.iso of=/dev/sda1 (which is the usb drive) but I cant boot off of it.. when I mount the usb drive.. heres all I got.. [jason@zim tomsboot]$ cd /mnt/usb/ [jason@zim usb]$ ls -al total 10 dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Jan 29 15:08 ./ drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Jan 29 12:14 ../ dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Jan 29 15:09 boot/ -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Jan 29 15:10 boot.cat* [jason@zim usb]$ ls -al boot boot boot.cat [jason@zim usb]$ ls -al boot total 2884 dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Jan 29 15:09 ./ dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Jan 29 15:08 ../ -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2949120 Jan 29 15:09 tomsrtbt.img* [jason@zim usb]$ does this look right? what am I missing? regards, Jason
