Public bug reported:
others appear to have working UNR systems, although those I've found are
reporting success with the 9.04 and 8.04 img versions that no longer
appear on the download page.
I downloaded the ubuntu-9.10-netbook-remix-i386.iso and used the usb-
creator after first using fdisk to ensure just one bootable win95 vfat32
partition (type b) and using mkfs.vfat /dev/sdc1
the USB drive appears fine, the files can be read, but the ASUS Eee-pc
900 will not boot from the USB! The BIOS is set to try the "removable
drive" first, and the drive lights during the boot sequence, it just
doesn't boot.
is there something else I need to do? do I have the right partition
type? could the USB drive itself be incapable of booting? It does seem
to me that there should be some setup step where a bootloader is put
into the drive, yet there is no such step in the process. Does usb-
creator do this?
