Myconfig with Knoppix 3.9
I have been using Knoppix 3.4 up to now and have always saved my config to my external USB drive which is /mnt/sda1. I loaded Knoppix 3.9 for the first time today and used my usual command at the boot prompt which is <knoppix myconfig=/mnt/sda1> and 3.9 could not find it.
Then I used <knoppix myconfig=scan> and it still could not find it. I discovered later that my USB drive is now known as <uba1>. When I substituted this the config worked. However <uba1> is not mentioned in the /mnt directory but <sda1> is. Whichever description I use makes no difference I still can't open my usb drive.
The only thing I can think of is that the older config still refers to <uba1> as <sda1>.
Any help will be appreciated.

There was a similar issue with floppyconfig. As a shot in the dark, try booting with boot: knoppix myconfig=/mnt/sda1 -b which will put you in "emergency mode." Then type 'mkdr /mnt/sda1' [1] to create the mountpoint. Type 'exit' to continue booting normally.
Don't guarantee that it'll work, but please post back either way.

[1] Edit: that should read 'mkdir /mnt/sda1'

I followed your instructions to this point:
root@console[~]# mkdr /mnt/sda1 -b
and Knoppix responded with this:
bash: mkdr: command not found
Back to square one methinks.!

We both mistyped. Let's try again.
Boot with
Code:
boot: knoppix myconfig=/mnt/sda1 -b
Then once you enter "emergency mode", type this:
Code:
mkdir /mnt/sda1
exit # to leave "emergency mode"
Let us know how it goes.

Perhaps I'm not getting into "emergency mode" because I keep getting this response:
bash: mkdr: command not found
When I type "exit" I'm back at the root # prompt and then it's a "reset" to start again.

____________________________
I must have made a typo somewhere because I succeeded in getting into emergency mode, the mkdir command was carried out and the boot proceeded. It stopped with this statement:
Filesystem not auto detected. Trying to mount with AES256.
/dev/sda1: no such device or address
Snookered again!

I ran into a brick wall every time here so I installed Knoppix on a spare drive instead. All is well now and i must say I quite like it as a debian install. Perhaps you could explain how to get it to recognise my 256meg USB memory stick though.
Many thanks for the previous help,
Regards,
