Chris, Thanks for your hint. In my BIOS there is no way to set such a mode. However, all of a sudden it had started to boot ok. It was after I reseted the /dev/sda a couple of times. It is strange and I will try it with another hardware. I know best how that sounds, when you hear: "i really did nothing in between", but i really did nothing. I just reseted the disk 3-4 times installing the system from usb every time after reset like this:
1) plug-in usb and choose 'boot' option (boot is automatic, so no TAB needed at startup) 2) after system booted up, clean target disk with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=4M 3) reboot, but this time use TAB to choose 'install' option from USB 4) installing.... (in my case SSD HDD /dev/sda) 5) optional step for me: parted /dev/sda set 1 boot on - as this is not set by install.sh script Interesting was that, there is no need to set boot partition for ISO image in VBox to run fine, but hey! i adjusted initrd and DONE! I can test my image now! thank you and best regards simon :-) On Fri, Jan 9, 2015 at 9:52 PM, Chris Tapp <opensou...@keylevel.com> wrote: > > On 9 Jan 2015, at 09:31, Simon Bolek <simon.bo...@googlemail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > The following is the case: > 1) atom-pc with ssd 80 GB hard drive(the only one, no optical, no usb, > etc.) as a target device > 2) core-image-sato bitbaked and moved to usb device successfully > 3) usb 'install' to atom-pc successfull (so the install script says) > 4) after removing the usb device, pressing enter the boot says NO BOOTABLE > DEVICE > > > I've seen this is the past with an eSata device.
