Booting from USB HDD without BIOS support Hi all,
I have an external USB harddisk and installed Linux (SUSE 9.3) on it.
Unfortunately my BIOS does not support direct booting from USB harddisks.
I suppose it is possible to setup e.g. a small boot CD (booting from CD
is supported), which loads a USB driver and finally boots Linux from the
USB harddisk.
Can anyone please give me some hints how to do this? Or does anyone have
a better idea how to boot from the harddisk?
Thanks and Best Regards, Stephan
P.S.: Background: My system is a Medion MD8383XL with Phoenix 6.0 BIOS.
The main harddisk is a SATA device, which is full of <shame> Windows XP
</shame>. |
