USB Boot Info/help?

Post by donfirth »

This is what should happen:
Boot From Mass Storage
resetting USB...
USB0: USB EHCI 1.00
Scanning bus 0 for devices...

My System: V53.21 2014.04 <Oct
Boot From Mass Storage
Running Mass Storage Boot
X5000>

My system seems to be of an earlier configuration.
Is there a way to update and what is it I update.
Is there a command I can insert at the X5000> prompt.

...Thanks

Interesting ...
I found 2 solutions elsewhere.
The first is using a linux command on my Mac.
sudo dd if=/Volumes/Files\ Backup/Amiga/AmigaOne/X5K/AmigaOneX5000InstallCD-53.25.iso of=/dev/disk5 bs=1m
which makes it like a CD.
the other is treating it kinda like another HardDrive.
Create a partition, make it bootable and raise the boot priority to 1.
I did a complete install.
then it replaces the System boot.
No completely what I was wanting, but workable.

what FS did you use for your USB stick ? I tried FFS (DOS/7) and NGFS and when I boot I got the same error :

invalid partition type "DOS\7" (expect "U-Boot")
or
invalid partition type "NGF\0" (expect "U-Boot")

I also tried rawrite on a pc to directly image the iso to the USB stick but U-Boot said no available media...
