bringing GhostBSD onto usb
Posted: Sun Feb 07, 2016 1:52 pm
Hi there!
I'm trying to get GhostBSD onto my USB-stick but unfortunately ist doesn't work.
The situation is as follows:
I have a Sony VAIO with 11 Linux-systems running on it (Ubuntu 14.04 as lead system, the other ones sitting on a logical (edit: in trueth it's an extended partition) partition).
In order to have a broad variety on my computer I want to replace one of the systems by GhostBSD (as it is possible to install without bootloader, great invention!).
So, I tried to bring GhostBSD onto my usb-stick, using the "dd" as described in the Handbook and in the Wiki of GhostBSD website.
The restart brings me a black screen with a blinking underline and that's it. Trying unetbootin doesn't work ("no kernel...")
The md5 sum is checked and allright.
You might know my next question: What the ### am I doing wrong? Do I have to format the stick in a ufs, for instance? Gparted does not offer this for USB-sticks...
I would be very greatful for help!
Nice greetings!
