I got booting/installing proxmox from usb flash partially working. I set up my system bios to boot from usb flash. I formatted a usb flash drive with mkfs.ext2. I extracted all the files from the proxmox ISO and copied them to the root of the flash drive. I then ran:
cd /media/disk (root of USB flash)
sudo extlinux -i boot/isolinux
cd boot/isolinux
mv isolinux.cfg extlinux.conf
When I boot, it looks like the bootup process is searching for a cdrom device. It says:
searching for cdrom
testing again in 5 seconds
no cdrom found - unable to continue
I got proxmox installed from a usb cdrom drive no problem. But it would be so much easier to do it from a flash drive with my rack mounted servers. My servers do not have CD or floppy drives and using an external is a pain.
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks,
Tauren
