Set up the client. Attempted boot. "Operating system not found."
Decided to eliminate the installer as a potential issue. Created new partition table in gparted, formatted the card ext4. Stuck on the boot flag. Downloaded latest installer that I could find (from page 2 of this thread) -- it spat a bunch of errors at me during install, towards the end. I have a complete log of Terminal messages from that...
Nevertheless, installed grub4dos, made my usual edits (eliminating useless text) within menu.lst -- the same stuff I do on all my computers, all of which OTHER than this one, boot fine.
Stuck the card back in its adapter in the client, plugged in, powered up. "Operating system not found."
Either grub4dos itself within X-Tahr 1b3 is very suddenly not working on my netbook -- which would make no sense, it was working fine before this problem -- or the card is faulty in some unspecified manner. For what (presumably little) it's worth, the card appears to read and retain data fine -- it just won't be booted from. It can't be the install script in this thread -- it never gets that far -- and it can be neither the client nor the adapter at this point, as I've replaced both.
Install log, copied out of Terminal, appears below this point...
Code: Select all
root# ./puppy_full_installer
I assume you have formatted the drive to ext(2,3,4)
I'm not babysitting so if it isn't do it now!
Is it? (y or n + [Enter/Return])
y
Assuming you are not stupid...
OK, remember.. I'm not responsible here...
Proceeding...
Insert your drive and mount it.
Then tell me the target drive partition (eg: sdc1, sdd1 etc)
GET IT RIGHT!
what is the drive partition?
sdc1
Seems sane..
Ok, /mnt/sdc1 exists. Good.
Now we need some source files
either mount a CD/DVD or an ISO file
THEN, tell me the mount point path
EXAMPLE: /mnt/sr0 or /mnt/+mnt+sda5+iso+tahr64-6.0.3.9.iso
An easy way to do that is enter the mounted folder and type 'pwd' in a terminal
Type the source mount point path.
/mnt/+mnt+sdb1+TEMP+X-tahr-1b3.iso
Seems sane..
Install from /mnt/+mnt+sdb1+TEMP+X-tahr-1b3.iso to /mnt/sdc1
Press y + [Enter/Return] to continue
y

Hopefully we're done ...
To make this install bootable you need to run grub4dosconfig to
install a bootloader to the USB drive. In Grub4dosconfig -choose
to install to the USB drive and choose selection: search only
within this device.
If your target is a USB drive then don't forget to add "rootwait"
in the Options textbox, it's the one that has the value "ro"
in it by default.
That would be in the grub4dosconfig window with title:
"Grub4DosConfig - List of detected operating systems"
This is essential for a successful boot.
Now proceed by running grub4dosconfig to complete the install
and making it bootable.
