and I still feel very unsure of if I managed
to find the correct answer on how to boot two independent
puppies on same usb partition frugal install. grub4dos menu.lst
Look at the present working version of my menu.lst on a
Kingston 2GB UsbFlash.
Code: Select all
title lupu528 rootnoverify (hd0,0)?
root=(hd0,0)
kernel /lupu528/vmlinuz PMEDIA=usbflash PDEV1=sdb1 psubdir=lupu528 pfix=fsck
initrd /lupu528/initrd.gz
title Thinslacko 533 4g Puppy Linux
root=(hd0,0)
kernel /thinslacko/vmlinuz PMEDIA=usbflash PDEV1=sdb1 psubdir=thinslacko pfix=fsck
initrd /thinslacko/initrd.gz
Lupu accepted this
title lupu528 rootnoverify (hd0,0)?
kernel /lupu528/vmlinuz PMEDIA=usbflash PDEV1=sdb1 psubdir=lupu528 pfix=fsck
initrd /lupu528/initrd.gz
While Slacko needed this one
title Thinslacko 533 4g Puppy Linux
root=(hd0,0)
kernel /thinslacko/vmlinuz PMEDIA=usbflash PDEV1=sdb1 psubdir=thinslacko pfix=fsck
initrd /thinslacko/initrd.gz
If I used this one then they gave error messages
PDEV1=sdb
They also gave error messages if I used
kernel (hd1,1)/thinslacko/vmlinuz
while on another computer that was what was needed for it to work?
Why does some computer need (hd1,1) when others need (hd0,0)?
Guys I am totally confused so hope you can excuse my internal state
and pretend that it is another friendly noob asking and it can help others
if you help me with this.
What works for your USB?
In case you are very formally bent. I use an Acer D255 with N450CPU
