 Posted: Wed Aug 31, 2011 7:57 pm Post subject: Haiku Installation |
 |
|
Tried to install Haiku to USB as suggested in the magazine (LXF 149) page 127. All goes well until I get to the point where it says to enter:
dd if=filename.img of=/dev/name
I've tried various scenarios for filename and name with no success. Can someone help me define exactly what I should be putting in place of "filename" and "name" or where I can find this information ??
Sorry to say, I'm clueless...........
Thanks,
Bruce |

Try | Code: | | dd if=haiku-r1alpha3-anyboot.image of=/dev/sdb |
Normally an image file is named <filename>.img, but for some reason this one seems to be <filename>.image. I presume that will make no difference to dd, and the image will still be copied.
/dev/sdb is just my suggestion of what you may have as your USB drive, but you can find it easily with If you have only one hard drive and no other external disks attached it is most likely to be /dev/sdb
