Installing from USB Drive issues

[crittersmagic]

Hello all,I work at a data center and would like to get the 3 current versions of ProxMox to install off of a usb thumb drive. It is hard to say WHAT program i use to load all my ISO's with, not sure if it is fira disk or grub4dos but it all comes from easy2boot. I have found some threads here where they got it to work, not sure HOW tho. So i am asking here if anyone might be able to help me so that i can get this to workThe USB Drive boots, but after some time I get a boot screen with:...testing cdrom /dev/sr0mount: mounting /dev/sr0 on /mnt failed: Invalid argumentumont: can't umount /mnt: Invalid argument....This message is repeated a few times and ends with no cdrom found - unable to continue (type exit ot CTRL-D to reboot)Thanks for the help,

Hi
If using Easy2Boot, just copy the ISO file to \_ISO\MAINMENU folder and boot it.

It will fail to boot so press ESC or F2 and you will see the command prompt.
Type
fdisk -l
and look for the sdx4 partition (the ISO will be mapped to sdx4 by E2B) - let's assume it is at sdb4
type
mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt
chroot /mnt sbin/unconfigured.sh
and wait until you see the user agreement

HTH

Thank you SteveSi,

I have already found this info and it DOES work. This will have to be the way to do it till peeps get it figured out how to install like a normal iso.

Now my instructions are a little bit different then yours. But it all works out.

PLUS i goofed and put it in here cause it was supposed to have been for the new versions. 2.3, 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2

But Thanks for the help.
