I copied the files onto a partition on the USB drive. Changed into the boot directory and ran the porteus installer (as per a normal porteus install).
Thanks for verification. Now, on to ntfs. Modprobed ntfs.ko, so think should adjust linuxrc to use
ntfs instead of
ntfs-3g.
Using neko's iso 2 bootable usb tool, have been been able to boot usb from bios
(thanks to brainstorm suggestions contributed by your compatriot in my other thread), which also worked: Booting from USB

Now roadie who cannot run 64 bit informed me in a pm on 6th Feb, which I hope he does not mind me quoting from:
I'm using a 4.3.3 kernel I compiled some time ago to use in an early Nemesis, and using your initrd.img. The kernel doesn't have overlay compiled in.
I threw a current base together and it boots fine to a login, actually went straight to an Xfce when I added it in. Looking at your lsmod, I see that overlay is loaded, as it is in mine.
And in a later pm:
Code: Select all
bash-4.3# df -h

Looks like Porteus format Overlay could have made it right through to XFCE!

Other boot warnings/errors include:

Wasn't sure if worth pursuing, but since you mention it, will pursue it myself or maybe others could for that matter?
