Asunto: [Assist] Parabola LiveUSB
Fecha: Mon, 27 Aug 2012 03:53:08 +0400
Hi,
I'd like to install Parabola to Yeeloong.
But I must change my partition scheme prior to that.
That's why I want to boot from an external media.
What should I do to make a LiveUSB?
Here is what I did:
1. Downloaded this [1] package;
2. Unpacked and copied it to my USB flash drive;
3. Used the following commands to load it:
load (usb0,0)/boot/vmlinuz-linux-libre
initrd (usb0,0)/boot/initramfs-linux-libre.img
g console=tty no_auto_cmd
Output:
:: Starting udevd...
done.
:: Running Hook [udev]
:: Triggering uevents...done.
ERROR: device '' not found. Skipping fsck.
ERROR: Unable to find root device ''.
You are being dropped to a recovery shell
Type 'exit' to try and continue booting
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
exit
Recovery shell has a limited functionality. For example, it
doesn't contain fdisk nor parted. And I haven't found a way to
configure the network.
But I was able to mount partitions. I think that I can copy
fdisk from there, but the whole process looks like an overkill.
Am I doing it wrong?
Is there a better package for such purpose?
