goofy usb install
amalafrida:
Multiple problems. I'll take them up seriatim.
Apparently successful install to USB. Boots fine.
Set TCE Drive to USB (/dev/sdb1)
Connect and download Partimage. Apparently successful. After mounting /dev/sdb1, check directory on /mnt/sdb1 (tce/optional) and, sure enough, partimage.tcz is there.
At CLI attempt to initiate partimage
"sh: partimage: not found"
At Apps Audit place partimage in OnDemand
still no go.
reboot.
Apps Audit now shows no partimage option
TCE drive no longer set.
Nice persistence problem ...
Shouldn't the partition (/dev/sdb1) be mounted on boot? It is not.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Juanito:
perhaps on reboot the usb drive/stick is no longer sdb, but sda or sdc?
It might be better to use label or uid to reference the usb drive/stick (see wiki for this).
gerald_clark:
Add the 'waitusb=10' boot option.
Later you can try reducing it to 5.
amalafrida:
mounted liveCD iso
copied all files to USB partition labeled "tinycoreUSB"
which leave me the following items in /boot
isolinux (dir)
bzImage
tinycore.gz
reboot grub
set root=(hd2,1) usbwait=10
linux /boot/bzImage
initrd /boot/tinycore.gz
TC boots just fine
However, /dev/sdb1 is still not mounted; only rootfs, proc, sysfs, devpts, tmpfs.
Manual mount of /dev/sdb1 to /mnt/sdb1 confirms that to be the correct drive
created directory "tce" on tinycoreUSB partition (/mnt/sdb1)
Set TCE Drive to /dev/sdb1
then "download only" partimage.tcz ... confirm "ok"
then "Apps Audit" "OnDemand" --> partimage
CLI attempt "partimage" --> sh: partimage: not found
confirm that partimage.tcz has indeed been downloaded to /mnt/sdb1/tce/optional
CLI --> partimage ... same error
reboot
TCE Drive setting not persist
Now then, should I create an onboot.lst file in order to mount by LABEL as suggested?
Thanks for the help.
gerald_clark:
With GRUB, boot options go on the kernel line.
Is this GRUB 2? It sure is not correct for GRUB.
