install boot sector to /dev/boot

Post#1 by fkam18 » 02 Mar 2024, 00:11

Hi
Trying latest version v5.01...
Running ./Porteus_install_to_Linux.com it detects /dev/boot, while the usb is mounted at /dev/sdb1
I anyway pressed OK, and then it said error 1 ... and failed out. Obviously there's no /dev/boot and fortunately it didn't wipe off my nvme boot sector

Wonder why it keeps saying /dev/boot instead of /dev/sdb1? Seems not able to detect /dev/sdb1 where I mounted it on /mnt

Cheers
MK
