I have been using core-image-sato and core-image-sato-sdk on the hard disk on Intel Atom (crownbay in my case).
I perform the following broad steps: 1) have a suitable partition on the disk - say partition #3 2) this partition will show up as sde3 on my host machine and sda3 on the atom 3) mkfs.ext3 /dev/sde3 4) mount /dev/sde3 /mnt/target 5) mount -o loop tmp/deploy/images/core-image-sato-sdk.ext3 /mnt/target-text3 6) cp -a /mnt/target-ext3/* /mnt/target 7) grub-install --recheck --root-directory=/mnt/target /dev/sde If grub install passed, I copy the following to /mnt/target/boot/grub/grub.cfg set default="0" set timeout="30" menuentry 'Yocto SDK' { insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(hd0,msdos3)' linux /boot/bzImage root=/dev/sda3 } Thats it - this boots for me. Eventually, when I move to some other media, I will have to investigate other bootloaders - like syslinux. All the best, do tell if this works.
