Re: [ts-7000] ts7250 thumbdrive bootup

[Larry <>]

It is my understanding that you can't boot from a thumb drive.
TS has code to make possible boot from on board flash, or SD card.
I think the issue is the bootloader. The bootloader must know how to mount the filesystem.
Apparently the bootloader does not know about thumb drive file system.

Of course, you can boot a kernel elsewhere, then mount the thumb drive as root.

Hi,

I'm totally new to this. I've been developing for a while so I should
be fine as long as I get going.

This is essentially what I want to do:

I have a ts7250. I am developing on a mac. I want to boot the ts 7250
from a thumb drive. I want to install a few specific perl libraries i
need. And, if possible but not necessary, I would like for a wireless
dongle to work on it so I can connect to it ad-hoc.

Where do I start? The manual is not very helpful.

Can I make the whole thing on my mac and just simply transfer it to a
flash drive and let it do its thing?

thanks
