Hi,
I have a M-Systems DiskOnKey USB Storage Device that I would like to use
to boot a computer into Linux. I think this is possible but I'm having
problems and have some questions:
1. What should be on the MBR of the USB device? I have tried using the
mbr.bin in the syslinux-2.07 distro.
2. How does this device appear to the BIOS, i.e. what should the boot
device be? USB-FDD, USB-ZIP, or USB-HDD?
I have tried several things, but have had no success. I tried using
some instructions from SPBlinux <http://www.8ung.at/spblinux/index.htm>,
but have had no success. Has anyone else out there?
Thanks,
David
