Title: How to boot but ignore hard drive?
Post by: jonathanbrickman0000 on November 01, 2010, 07:07:56 PM

If TC has been installed with persistence to a hard drive, how does one boot and prevent the partition from being automatically mounted?  I have already tried bootcodes 'embed' and 'norestore', but neither of these seem to do what I need; /mnt/hda1 or /mnt/sda1 (depending on hardware) is still mounted, and tce-load -wi still tries to create directories there.  I want the loop mounts to be used, regardless of what is pre-extant on the hard drive.  Anyone got an easy way?

The options are base norestore.

Thanks, Gerald!  Exactly what I needed.  I put it as an example in the wiki.
