Hi,

I thought about your problem and as i can't figure out what may be going
on, I thought a picture would be worth a thousands words and as my
English is not as good as I wish, I did a video instead.

Not sure how many words that would be worth, but what ever, I am sure it
would be way better then anything I could possibly write!

I have done with it QuickTime only because that's what I had available
around right now, hopefully you can watch it. I just do not have any
Window$ computer around. Plus I wouldn't want it to crash on me as I was
doing the video! (;>

Anyway, you have it from the start to the end, including the show of the
fdisk, disklabel, as well as the U-Boot env section and what you can do
to boot it quickly without making changes to it as well when it is setup
to boot.

I also load it from scratch and put the files on the FAT partition as
well and did a complete install, NOT an upgrade.

If that doesn't get you going, I can't say what will.

Enjoy and hopefully it will be useful.

As for the stall not much I can do there, my flash drive is pretty slow,
but still everything from start to finish, wipe, install reboot, etc was
18 minutes or so including my typing mistakes.

You can get it here:

And no before you asked that has NOTHING to do with the official
project. It's just a very old (11 years and counting) demonstration to
show talk on misc@ is cheap and doing is not.

Best,

Daniel.
