|    Booting R5 off USB-Stick    |
|    16 Aug 09 20:34:21    |
      From: ank@spamfence.net              I did this twice before and succeeded. But then with a floppy.              I got the R5 thingy for Linux and put it into /beos              -rw-r--r-- 1 500 users 1474560 2000-06-06 15:14 floppy.img       -rw-r--r-- 1 500 users 524288000 2000-06-07 14:53 image.be       -rw-r--r-- 1 500 users 7406 2000-04-26 20:57 license       -rw-r--r-- 1 500 users 538 2000-03-27 14:55 readme              As I have no floppy drive anymore I dd'ed the floppy.img on an USB       stick. I am able to boot from it and it shows the typical BeOS       screen. But then fails to load BeOS itself and comes with a menu. I can       tell it to rescan for boot images and the stick as well as the hard disk       LED flash for a moment, but no luck booting.       --       Andreas (PGP Key available on public key servers)       You know you're a Redneck when       35. You've used a toilet brush as a back scratcher.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
