Atheros boot agent

#1 Post by aarf »

Has a menu.lst in express gate folder on sda2.
Any prior art?

Best i can determine is that it is the same format as grub. So just use the usual grub code in the same way?.
edit: the menu.lst seems to be the same format as grub but cant confirm that the menu.lst is being used.
may have to take this query to eeepc user forum.
may try a boot formated sdcard in the internal reader and alter the boot order until i find my way around. usb stick puppy booting ok but not optimum for long term use.

gparted says sda2 is the boot partition.

did a manual inode 128 ext3 sdcard with manual grub and manual frugal and altered the boot order and am now booting from sdcard. this was after failing with the universal installer in luci528 on an inode 256 ext3.
anyhow am leaving atheros boot for now as i have lots of other stuff to do. wasnt brave enough to alter the atheros menu.lst extensively but that may be all that is needed.
