Hi,
I have been using Proxmox for a while and love the stability of it. But one thing that has me stuck is booting a client from a USB stick. In the past I have just created an CD from an ISO, but new images are coming in the form of a scripted install that is built in simillar way to BART PE. I have tried to create an ISO from the USB key but it fails.
So can I boot from a USB key in this way to build the client and remove the key.
I have got USB redirect to work using usb host command but I assume the cient will only see the USB key when the OS is loaded.
So can I configure the config file for a VM to include a USB key as a disk and set the boot order to boot from the key first and and the image built on a second drive.
Searching the forums I only found this reference I took a look at the qm man files but am lost on the correct syntax for this to work. My linux skills are very poor but assume the configuration has to include these values.
Regards

bootdisk: <disk>
enable booting from <disk>
<disk> = <ide0|ide1|ide2|ide3|scsi0|scsi1|scsi2|...
boot: [a|c|d|n]
boot on floppy (a), hard disk (c), CD-ROM (d), or network (n)
Default is "cad" (disk, floppy, cdrom)
ide0 - ide3: [volume=]volume,][,media=cdrom|disk]
Use volume as IDE hard disk or CD-ROM.
My USB key is mounted at /media/USB and its actual location is /dev/sdb1enable booting from <disk>
