ieremix Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I've been trying for the past 9 hours to get Leo to boot from my USB drive on my Dell. The install went smoothly but it would never boot. This is what I've done to correct the problem but I still get a "No boot sector on USB device" message: 1. fdisk -e /dev/rdisk3 2. update 3. f 1 4. w 5. y (yes) 6. q No problem so far 1. diskutil umount disk3s1 2. dd if=/usr/standalone/i386/boot1h of=/dev/rdisk3s1 bs=512 count=1 3. startupfiletool -v /dev/rdisk3s1 /usr/standalone/i386/boot 4. diskutil mount disk3 5. bless -device /dev/disk3s1 -setBoot -verbose Still no problem 1. Reboot 2. F12 3. Boot from USB Device 4. "No boot sector on USB device" 5. Bang head on desk repeatedly I've checked my bios setting and have Bios Emulation ON which is required when you want to boot from USB. Update: I ran the Kalyway "Make bootable HDD" etc .. and still "No boot sector on USB device" Any ideas?
