unetbootin boot error
Hi I have Debian installed on my PC and I would like to install another Linux distro in a free partition, my cdrom device does not work so I have been trying to install from memstick this is what I do:
1. Create a FAT32 bootable partition using cfdisk 2. use mkdosfs -F 32 to create the filesystem on partition 3. use unetbootin to make the install media using a *.iso file I don't get any error message during the process, but when I reboot the PC I get a "boot error" message. What can I do? |
Maybe there is a certain procedure, for that other distro, in order to make it boot from usb.
The same applies for debian. |
What is that procedure for Debian?
Is there another application/procedure in Debian to make a bootable memstick? |
You download the branch specific boot.img.gz from
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dis...ages/hd-media/ or http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dis...ages/hd-media/ and you "burn" it on the usb stick (which has to be unmounted at that time) with Code:
zcat boot.img.gz /dev/sdb |
