Ok, I've got it now. |
| 7 |
But I had to search a lot. |
| 8 |
First, I had of course to put a grub on the usb key. |
| 9 |
Then, to had a rootdelay= option for the boot wait to my usb key. |
| 10 |
But, it was no sufficient because, I don't know why, but udev doesn't |
| 11 |
create /dev/sda and /dev/sda1 |
| 12 |
(runUdev in /linuxrc) |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
(something strange, udevstart which is in /bin is called by |
| 15 |
/sbin/udevstart in /etc/initrd.scripts but modifying it never change for |
| 16 |
/dev/sdaX) |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
I had to add : |
| 19 |
################### FOR USB BOOT ################################### |
| 20 |
echo -e "${WARN}>>${NORMAL}${BOLD} We must hard create device nodes" |
| 21 |
/usr/bin/mknod /newroot/dev/sda b 8 0 |
| 22 |
/usr/bin/mknod /newroot/dev/sda1 b 8 1 |
| 23 |
################### END FOR USB BOOT ############################### |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
before bootstrapCD in /linuxrc |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Now it works, but no really so simple as just copying files from iso to |
| 28 |
usb key. |
| 29 |
I'll put that img on my site soon if somebody is interested... |
