I'm condensing replies to multiple suggestions into this message. Summary: failure. Assume that I'm using a) a 1GB USB flash drive, b) a nightly raw image, and c) that my paths are correct. Here's what's been tried so far: - `dd' image to flash drive without partitioning, attempt boot. - `dd' image to flash drive without partitioning, run makebootable from Alpha 1 installation on target device, attempt boot. - `dd' image to first / only partition on flash drive, attempt boot. - `dd' image to first / only partition on flash drive, run makebootable from Alpha 1 installation on target device, attempt boot. The flash drive is known to be good for booting from; this has been confirmed with Puppy Linux (amongst others). I'm out of ideas. Any suggestions? Cheers, - Cameron.
