I am having trouble getting my iBook G4 USB 2.0 to boot off a SanDisk
Cruzer Micro 256 USB2.0 flash drive. I have the flash drive partitioned
with OSX's disk utility to have one partition on it with a HFS Standard
filesystem on it. On the filesystem I made a directory called boot.
Put in the directory a vmlinux, yaboot, yaboot.conf, initrd, ofboot.b.
I use the following commands to display the location of the usb drive
dev usb0
ls
pwd
The commands display the following output
ok
ff9c7700: /[EMAIL PROTECTED]
ok
/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1 ok
I use the following command in open firmware to try and boot the device.
boot usb0/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:,\boot\yaboot
or
boot usb0/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2,\boot\yaboot
or
boot /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/usb/@1b,1/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:,\boot\yaboot
or
boot /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/usb/@1b,1/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2,\boot\yaboot
After I execute the command I get a long pause, about 17 seconds, then I
get the following error
can't OPEN: usb0/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:,\boot\yaboot
Does anyone know what I am missing when it comes to booting off usb
devices with an iBook?
