This is an old laptop without a hard drive. /dev/sda is a usb stick used to boot the machine. /dv/sdb is the usb stick which will not boot. CD/DVD drive, another USB, internal flash storage?

Your USB is a second storage media in a system; whatever is considered first, and bootable, from firmware (BIOS) perspective.

In my case it is the usb that is the first bootable medium as the laptop does not have anything else to boot from. Well, not quite true. It has a DVD drive but I don't use it. Everything works via the usb ports. L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
