Working with an older computer I was wondering if I could use grub to start an disk drive connected to usb. My bios does not give me the possibility to use usb as startup disk. I am running 10.3 on that machine. I started to ask this question by mistake on the off topick list and got following answers: ---You need the scsi and usb modules in the boot image. ---You'll have to hand-build, so to speak, a boot-up vmlinuz.gz file
Can somebody help me further?
grub can only read through the bios, so if the bios doesn't present you with the possibility to boot from usb, it probably means it can't read from it, and then grub won't be able to boot from it either Anders -- Madness takes its toll -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
