Bios is ami and sees devices as I connect them to the interface. The other
part of question: in this moment I have only enclosure. Tomorrow gonna
buy 2.5 hdd. It _must_ be bootable.
Theoretically, there should not be any reason not to successed to install
on usb disk and not to write _any_ data on internal hdd. It is a proof of
concept not to disconnect internal drive.
Should I post additional info?
I am having trouble using my USB disk with mkinitrd.yaird, because you
cannot generate the image on a different system than the one you would
boot from. At least I don't know how.
chroot into the system and run mkinitrd.yaird within the chroot.
That doesn't work, I tried.
YOu
can also manually edit bits of the yaird config files to make it point
to the right devices for booting.
But what to change? Documentation is very scarce.
