I successfully loaded USB Puppy linux 4.1 on my laptop with crashed hard disk but connected. During boot up sequence .. it tries to access pup file on crashed hard disk slowing down the boot process. my question is can i skip that hard disk checking which is already crashed?
Thanks in advance.
Skip Internal Hard Disk Detection
you can force to use a partition and even a subfolder in it.
If you use grub, it could be done like this:
So the files are searched on /dev/sdc7 in the subfolder /puppy412
If you run from CD, try a boot option like
puppy pdev1=sdc7 psubdir=puppy412
But I never tested, if it works from the CD bootmenu.

Code: Select all
title Puppy 412
root (hd0,0)
kernel /puppy412/vmlinuz acpi=force pmedia=idehd pdev1=sdc7 psubdir=puppy412
initrd /puppy412/initrd.gz
If you run from CD, try a boot option like
puppy pdev1=sdc7 psubdir=puppy412

I thought that if the bios doesn't know a HDD is in the machine, it couldn't pass this info to the boot of linux.
My bad then.
Remove the bad HDD then.
