Hi, There was a question here on booting of USB pendrive on a BIOS that does not support booting from USB. It is possible to do this with BeleniX by doing the following steps:
1) Boot of the livecd 2) Use usbdump to install BeleniX to a USB pendrive 3) Now create a temporary directory: mkdir /tmp/isodir 4) Copy everything except 2 files from the pendrive to the temporary directory: cd <pendrive mount directory> find . | egrep -v "belenix.zlib|archive.tar.7z" | cpio -pdum /tmp/isodir 5) Now build a small bootable ISO image: cd /tmp mkisofs -o bootiso.iso -b boot/grub/stage2_eltorito \ -c .catalog -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 \ -boot-info-table -N -l -R -U -allow-multidot \ -no-iso-translate -cache-inodes -d -D -V bhelper isodir 6) Burn the ISO to a CDROM. 7) Now insert the pendrive and the CDROM and boot off the CDROM. After loading the miniroot from CDROM, rest of the boot should happen from USB pendrive. You can remove the CDROM once you see the bootup messages. Regards, Moinak.
