Porteus n00B with problem of boot= cheatcode
Posted: 12 Apr 2015, 05:17
Have gone through the steps listed at http://www.porteus.org/tutorials/26-gen ... -them.html and http://www.porteus.org/component/conten ... tcode.html to use the boot= cheatcode and still cannot get my Porteus ISO to work as described
FWIW, I've regularly used Knoppix before, and Knoppix has the consecutive-boot options
then
The Porteus version I'm using is the Porteus-XFCE-v3.1-i486.iso cp'd onto /dev/sdb1/porteus/ as porteus.iso. This porteus.iso then had its vmlinuz and initrd.xz extracted to /dev/sdb1/porteus/boot/ as instructed in the 2nd above link using mloop.
When I go ahead and use the imaged Porteus-XFCE-v3.1-i486.iso liveCD to boot the PC and select the first liveCD boot option with either the 'from=/mnt/sdb1' cheatcode, the 'from=/dev/sdb1/porteus' cheatcode, the 'from=/mnt/sdb1' cheatcode, or the 'from=/mnt/sdb1/porteus' cheatcode at the end of the [Tab] line, I keep receiving this message:

Knoppix's boot entry works perfectly, so why not have a similar success with the Porteus 'boot= ' cheatcode??
FWIW, I've regularly used Knoppix before, and Knoppix has the consecutive-boot options
Code: Select all
knoppix: knoppix tohd=/dev/sdX
then
Code: Select all
knoppix: knoppix fromhd=/dev/sdX
