Re: [Unattended] /dev/dsk1 to /dev/sda1

on my target system two partition exist. sda1 (fat32, bootable) and sda2 
(ntfs, not bootable)
sda1 is the partition for the unattended setup.

Running parted manually i did this:
rm 1
mkpartfs primary fat32 20000 27000
set 1 boot on

After this mounting was possible, also copying of the data. But after 
reboot nothing happens, except a blinking underscore. (i had a look, all 
data still in the partition)

So, is there anything else to do, to prepare the partition for booting.


Thanks, Martin
