I found to the contrary when testing. Failure without it on my Dell laptop where current tests are done. It required both parms to boot sdb6.step wrote:... So I'm guessing that rootwait is required to boot any kind of USB/SD portable media. Am I on the right track?
My steps on 8GB stick:
- Gparted /dev/sdb
- Turn "Unallocated" area into an extended partition
- created a formatted f2fs partition in the extended area
- Exit Gparted
- Remove stick, count to 3 re-insert stick
- mount sdb2 AND sdb6
- Open 1 ROX window to sdb2 and a 2nd ROX window to sdb6
- Insure that you can see hidden files in sdb2 window
- Drag-copy all folders-files seen in sdb2 to sdb6 (be patient, USB is a slow asynchronous device)
- edit the bootmanager config in /mnt/sdb1/boot/syslinux as indicated earlier, here
When done, would you post your final bootmanager config.
