Re: squeeze install: Gave up waiting for root devices

I found out by trial and error that, although directions don't mention making the USB-key bootable, I must make its first partition bootable. Now I can boot the installer. However, when it looks for the ISO, rather than look for it on the USB-key (/dev/sdb) (or at least I didn't catch it), it look

Re: squeeze install: Gave up waiting for root devices

I tried 15 seconds, but didn't help. I suspect my problem was that the /boot partition was not made bootable. I found that the squeeze installer wouldn't allow me to toggle the bootable flag on this partition, and so I resorted to an old /boot partition that was bootable. But I suspect that didn't
