Using the installation manual section 4.4.1:
zcat boot.img.gz > /dev/sda (was gzip -cd and not zcat) mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt cp sarge-i386-netinst.iso /mnt sync (I added this) umount /mnt
Not much left of my USB device.
Can't mount it or do anything with it after this, but it will start a boot session. I am trying to mount it using 'mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt' on a SuSE machine ( no debian yet ... ). mounting /dev/sda doesn't work either:
loki:/home/tallison # mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda,
or too many mounted file systems
However, I was hoping to use this as a starting point for pulling in daily builds and doing install tests. But recovering from this is pretty tough to do.
I have a 256MB stick.
I have not yet tried the method in section 4.4.2
