I'm not sure the relevance of USB without knowing your hardware in detail.
However, if your boot device is on /dev/sdb you definitely need to make
sure that you have the relevant SCSI support compiled into the kernel
(not a module).
If it's a SATA disk, you will find the SATA drivers under SCSI low level
drivers in the kernel config. If you're not sure which SATA driver to use,
`lsmod |grep sata_' on your host box should be helpful.
partitions:
---------------
/dev/sdb3 / ext3 defaults 1 1
You also need ext3 filesystem support compiled in to the kernel
(not as a module).
Hope that helps,
Brandon.
