Booting Linux from flash device
(1/1)

HI..
I want to know that booting linux from flash storage device is supported or not.. !!
dalek:
I have read where this has been done, but it is tricky. I will see what I can find. I think the biggest thing is getting lilo or grub to see the device like it sees a hard drive.
If you done it the same as a bootable CD that may work though, just my thinking though.
I'll search around and see what I can find.

Well.. I want to say one thing here that booting linux from flash drive also requires that your board support it.. :)
dalek:
Yep, that is what I was thinking too. The mobo and BIOS has to see it like a hard drive so that grub or lilo can see that and then Linux can boot into it. That is a lot to ask. I read where someone did that. I can't find it though.
I'll dig around some more. Say a prayer.
