Boot From USB Flash Drive in LILO?
Is there anyway I can configure LILO or GRUB to boot from my Lexar Jumpdrive?
Thank you in advanced. |
Hello
First to boot from an USB drive, you need to have a BIOS that support it. Then for Lilo or grub, you just need to change your "root=" option. But if you just do that, you'll probably have a "VFS: unable to mount.... Kernel Panic". To avoid that you need to patch your kernel or add a pause in the boot process to be sure that USB will be enable in the kernel when it will try to mount USB root filesystem. Oliv' |
