Turns out I had a bad download on syslinux-4.05-86.pet (thought I had checked the sha1sums...apparently not!). Re-downloaded the PET and it worked fine.eowens2 wrote:
I am trying to install quirky6.0.1 on to a laptop 32GB SSD drive, selecting a f2fs format. I am installing from a 16 GB USB stick running quirky6.0.
The install process reported no errors and resulted in a 16 MiB /dev/sdb1 with apparent required files (including a syslinux.cfg with a valid UUID for partition 2, and a boot flag present), and a 28.5 GiB /dev/sdb2 with what appears to be a normal root file system.
When I try to boot I get "This is not a bootable disk. Please insert a bootable floppy and try again". I checked on my version of syslinux and it is 5.10.
BK warned that syslinux 5.10 has problems, and when I try to install syslinux-4.05-86.pet I get "Error, package 'syslinux-4.05-86.pet' failed to install."
I found a copy of "syslinux-3.73.pet" but when I clicked on it, it also failed to install.
Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?

I have had no trouble with installing PETs in Quirky 6.0. You just download the syslinux-4.05-x86.pet, then click on it. Then it gets installed.
The f2fs installation to the 32 GB SSH drive is now booting smoothly.
Thank you.
