Re: [Trinux-talk] boot on USB drive

[rick p. <ric...@ho...>]

Hi,

One idea. He had the drive connected to the usb port of some kind of 
machine, Windows or Linux, which allowed him to move files to it.  Can he 
fdisk to the drive and toggle on the "bootable partition" flag??


My CF disk require i do that, iirc.

I'm assuming these drives use the USB storage (which is SCSI, actually)
so you'd need a modified kernel that includes USB and the right SCSI
stuff.

Right now the only way to boot a non-floppy (or CD) drive is to create a
DOS partition and then boot with loadlin. I don't have acccess to any
devices that allow USB booting, so I haven't been able to try this. I'm
assuming FreeDOS won't recognize it as a drive so that wouldn't work,
but perhaps Win98 (can't remember if that has USB support or not)

Booting off a floppy and loading packages from the drive is definitely
doable, though.

Anybody else have any ideas?
