hey koszer,

so I tried to boot from the usb.

I had a 1GB usb stick that I formatted to FAT32. I put the newly named "morphos.iso" and the boot.img (from the from the /mac_ppc64) on it.

Nothing more nothing less just those two files (worked out to be just under 300Mb I think)

so I went into OF

I ran the commands to find the usb:

I found that "dev usb2 ls" yielded me this:

ffa50d48: /disk@2 ok

(I went til there was no more USBs and didn't find a disk@1)

so I proceeded to put

" boot usb2/disk@2:,boot.img bi umsd0:morphos.iso "

I got the following

"Warning: sector size mismatch! can't OPEN: usb2/disk@2:,boot.img
Can't open device or file
ok "

soooooo two things this makes me wonder...

1. Does it have to be "disk@1" cause I couldn't find one... (when I did the "dev /aliases .properties" command I saw that there were a few variations of the USB like usb-2a,2b,2c none of which had disk@1... only usb2 has disk@2)

I noticed that the cd1 has disk@1 listed but that may be normal
wonder if there was a blotch up from me putting the boot.img file on .. I made sure it was from the correct directory and just outside on the root dir with the iso file.

2. wonder if that means my usb stick isn't really working properly.

I saw how my keyboard hooked up (also has a wireless usb mouse hooked to the power keyboard)


Also should note for jPV... I hooked up another monitor and same white screen..


so I wasn't yet successful booting from the usb.. and the monitors don't seem to matter.

*sigh* seems like square one again..

Sorry koszer for not being able to properly boot by usb..
I imagine I am doing something wrong
