Will, I just installed "unetbootin" and selected image I've saved earlier: |
| 27 |
install-amd64-minimal-20140828.iso (yes, I verified md5sum) |
| 28 |
The process was completed without errors, but my system still can not boot from this 1GB USB disk, I'm puzzled. |
| 29 |
|

This the same USB disk had earlier Gentoo burn ISO I did it maybe 5-year ago and was booting just find from the machine I"m trying to make it to work. |
| 31 |
I wanted to have current/updated ISO image on it. But doesn't matter what I do it doesn't work :-/ |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I just tried "usb_instal.sh" script from systemrescuecd-x86-4.3.0.iso and my box boots just fine. So why do I have problem using "unetbootin" and generating |
| 34 |
bootable USB manually. |
