Thanks for the guide William, i tried it out but encountered some problems
with it ...
I have connected USB drive to the BBB and booted it normally , after that i
stared using commands you indicated for formating the hard drive :
"sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1024 count=1024"
"sudo fdisk /dev/sda" then "n p 1 default default , t 83 p w"
"sudo parted --script /dev/sda set 1 boot on sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1 -L
rootfs"
But i`m receiving "invalid option -- 'L'" ...
Note that i have changed 'sdc' to 'sda' , beacuse this is how it is visible
on BBB.
And in uEnv.txt (that is located /boot/uEnv.txt) file i need to add
following lines :
"
uenvcmd=usb start;
bootpart=0:1
bootdir=/boot
loaduimage=load usb ${bootpart} 0x80200000 /boot/uImage
loadfdt=load usb ${bootpart} 0x815f0000 /boot/am335x-boneblack.dtb
mmcroot=/dev/sda1 ro rootwait
mmcboot=echo Booting from USB ...; run mmcargs; bootz 0x80200000 –
0x815f0000
"
It`s just the same as changes you indicated on blog , but changed "bootm"
to "bootz"
