Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] making bootable USB
Date: Sun, 31 Aug 2014 12:06:49 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140831180648.GA4505@syscon2> (raw)

I've re-run the setup but it still doesn't work.

df -h
/dev/sda1       3.8G  190M  3.6G   5% /run/media/joseph/4GB_ysa

/dev/sda1 *     2048   7864319 3931136   b W95 FAT32

while usb not mounted:

dd if=/usr/share/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/sda
0+1 records in
0+1 records out
440 bytes (440 B) copied, 0.00121707 s, 362 kB/s

While usb mounted:

cp -r /mnt/cdrom/* /run/media/joseph/4GB_ysa
mv /run/media/joseph/4GB_ysa/isolinux/* /run/media/joseph/4GB_ysa
mv /run/media/joseph/4GB_ysa/isolinux.cfg /run/media/joseph/4GB_ysa/syslinux.cfg
rm -rf /run/media/joseph/4GB_ysa/isolinux*
mv /run/media/joseph/4GB_ysa/memtest86 /run/media/joseph/4GB_ysa/memtest
sed -i -e "s:cdroot:cdroot slowusb:" -e "s:kernel memtest86:kernel memtest:" /run/media/joseph/4GB_ysa/syslinux.cfg
umount /run/media/joseph/4GB_ysa
syslinux /dev/sda1

Does the "dd if=/usr/share/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/sda"
has to be run when USB is mounted or unmounted?
