On floppy you have the device and no partition. We are leaving floppies.
On usb and hd/CF-card you want to use partitions. One for system and for one configuration, possible more depending on usage. With syslinux bering.img The configuration in tarball assumes /dev/sda1 (a vfat partition). syslinux on diskimage with no partition will boot. But LINUXRC does not find the configurations(leaf.cfg) as no /dev/sda1. Either some one prepare a empty image (for download) with a partition and instruktion on how to mount and copy files(tarball) to it. Or better(IMHO) a instruction for creating image with partitions from scratch, mounting partitions and copy tarball. /Per ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Increase Visibility of Your 3D Game App & Earn a Chance To Win $500!
