thanks for replies from Kam Leo and John Austin re Kam Leo's #1 >1. You cannot directly boot from a USB device if the BIOS does not > support that feature.
I had already understood that. My main questions, probably obscured bc of lack of detail on my part, 1)whether my usb disk could be mbr-installed to boot when connected to another system that had a bios that can boot usb, i.e., after being mbr-installed while still connected to my present system using say an f10 install cd/dvd, despite my present system bios not seeing the usb? 2) and if so, would that mbr prep on usb somehow interfere or not with my present scsi sda1 mbr? re John Austin's #1 > >1. As my main disk is dual boot windows, f10 (/ and /boot) > I can write vmlinuz and initrd to /boot on the hard drive and boot my >USB stick using these Yes, I already understood that, and in fact have been doing so for last few months not with f10 but fc5 and older kubuntu. Some detail on that I had mentioned to Mikkel in the old thread Feb 21, 2009 Re: kubuntu vs fedora initrd init files any further response? Jack
