Hey all hacker-types,
I have created an ext3 partition on my USB HDD, and I cloned my Diablo to it. I then tried to boot from this partition, but my bootmenu just says N/A beside that option. Is it because the USB drive doesn't mount right away? Is there something I have to add to the initfs / bootmenu to get the drive to mount?
just for your info, it is /sys/block/sda/sda2
I have several working bootable partitions on my SD cards, I just wanted to try an actual HD and see what the speed difference is...
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Got it working! See this post for the
how-to
