Re: cannot boot from usb

Hi
As far as I remember, the .usb image is supposed to be written to the
entire usb drive, instead of a partition on the usb drive. You can
either use the .hd image type and write it to sdb1, or use the usb
image and write it to sdb, instead of sdb1:

sudo dd if=3Dgpxe-1.0.0-sis900.usb of=3D/dev/sdb

Please keep in mind that this will destroy the current partition table
and any filesystem that may be on the usb drive. If you want to keep
the filesystem, you may be interested in instaling syslinux or grub on
the drive and use the .lkrn image type.
