That was the approach i was taking when ... ( i only need 512 bytes after MBR, what could possibly go wrong?!) I destroyed some memorabilia on that flash. Oh well; no big loss. for some reason setting nvram='#u/usb/ep6.0/data" nvroff=513 (is it 0 or 1 origin?) nvrlen=512 didn't work. i guessed it

[9fans] usb/disk nvram and pxeload

2011-02-26 Thread Skip Tavakkolian
if i pxeload a cpu and want to be able to use an nvram partition on a usb disk (i.e. nvram=/dev/sdXX/nvram - once it is partitioned & formated). it seems i also must change boot/boot.c to add the 'partfs && fdisk -p && prep -p' after usbd has started. is this correct?
