booting from USB-device
Hello to everyone,
I tried to follow the advice given here in the wiki on how to make a bootable USB-memory-stick. But in my case it is a hard-disk (80GB) but, I assume, this does not make a big difference.
First step: dd-command
this took between 3 and 4 hours to complete.
Second step: mkdiskimage
I tried mkdiskimage -F -4 /dev/sda 0 255 63
and got the following error-message: don't know how to determine the size of this device.
What's wrong here?
Thanks
AugustQ
