When a USBstiked-syslinux starts, it's the PC's firmare that's reading the USB ? But once the USBsyslinux takes over, has IT also got a USB driver? Since my MotherBoard & 2009 Slackware built USBstik syslinux booter were stolen I bought a <WinTel> laptop and USBextender to access my old IDE...

Sounds like either chain.c32 or LOCALBOOT was used or you merely passed different parameters to the kernel via its command line, like "root=/dev/sda5". > N...

When a USBstiked-syslinux starts, it's the PC's firmare that's reading the USB ?. But once the USBsyslinux takes over, has IT also got a USB driver? So that USBsyslinux can install a different USBstik/partition? Ie. boot with stikA to install & run stikB:partition5 ? ------------ Is the following...

>Do you mean boot SYSLINUX from stik-A but then load files like a >kernel/initrd from stikB:partition5? It's possible but only from a >development version of Syslinux that has the multifs patch merged. Yes: before my x86MotherBoard & <syslinux>USBstik were stolen, I could edit the <syslinux prompt> to boot to different partitions of the attatched IDE & SATA. Now I've got a laptop, with a USBextention driving a USB to IDE or SATA adaptor. The 64bitTinyCore/syslinux USBstik looks like: /mnt/sdb1/boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin 24576...

I want to be able to make a USBbootStik for my laptop, as I repeatedly did for the now stolen PC. I've got a copy of the required 2009, Slackware13 partition, saved to a USBdisk. And I've located the 175-line: <make bootStik script> . Of course just "chroot"ing Slak13, won't allow <make bootStik>. But why can't someone here, provide the info to make an

I've been using linux:TC from a USBstik in order to not break the M$ capability, as previously always happened. Since TC runs in RAM, it has many extra problems; like reinstalling all the apps and your private settings at each boot. The sample isolinux.cfg which I've been emailed by the oficianado is very unfamiliar and worrying....

Yes this is the SAME question, that I can't get an answer from a month ago! I have the files, from a USBstik [now stolen] which I previously could edit at boot time, to boot any of my IDE or SATA partitions. Now, with a laptop, I want to boot the same IDE or SATA via a USB-adaptor to IDE/SATA. And also I want to boot a Toshiba 500GB USB disk. The obvious question is: why [if] the old system could boot a...

...want to access > through the USB-adaptor to IDE/SATA. No. I'm not married to Slak. It's important to distinguish between verbatim/pasteable and what the old-writer merely thinks/remembers. I want to be able to boot ANY installation/partition as I vaguely remember I could do with the old USBstik. > To mount /, the initramfs needs to know the partition's name reported > by lsblk, that you'd give as a kernel parameter in the command line, as > said by message.txt. In the limiting case, there's only the 4 partitons of M$pook & stkA & stikB, which gives only 3 sd...

Previously I've been using a laptop with an "Aptio Setup Utility...2015" to "Disable UEFI Boot" and allow a USBstik with partition1 having: /boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin , isolinux.cfg , menu.c32...etc. to boot 64bit TinyCore. Now this newer laptop has: "Aptio Setup Utility...2018" which is completely different from the 2015 version. I fail to boot linux from any of my various syslinux/grub bootStik...

My previous question: "can syslinux on a USBstik also boot installations on other USB devices ?" got no proper reply, so I'm now including more background detail. The new problem is that my 32bit partition of ETHOberon, only gives a proper font-size under Debian7:DVDinstaller:rescueMode, since I'm forced to use a laptop, after my pre...

I thought we answered this but perhaps it's not the "Can I boot ISOLINUX/SYSLINUX from USB-A and boot to USB-B" whose short answer is "No" but long answer is "It depends on the BIOS/CSM mapping USB-B to another device.&q...

How exactly were you editing (something)? Do you mean that you somehow changed some boot command from the Syslinux boot prompt during boot? In that case, which command you (used to) type in...
