Hi,

I followed these steps https://www.morphos-team.net/guide/usb-boot
to create and boot from USB Stick.
But after booting nothing happens (see of log):

Code:

Be sure you used the correct boot image and that the ISO file is named morphos.iso) without spaces.
Also, your stick could be too big and OpenFirmware cannot recognize it.
Try with a smaller usb stick or with a smaller partition.

Ah, thanks, now it works.
I copied the contents of the iso instead of the iso itself.
It was my fault.
