Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to get the latest FreeSBIE ISO onto a USB mass-storage device. From my googling, I've found that I should simply be able to:
# dd if=FreeSBIE-2.0-RC1-20061123.iso of=/dev/da0 Three strange things happened after I ran this command, 1. It took almost 26 hours to perform the dd command. Even though this is 1GB USB-2 device, the throughput was only about 6K/second. Can I speed things up by specifying a block size? 2. After the dd operation was complete, my FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE machine didn't recognize the USB device as having a UFS filesystem. 3. The laptop on which I intended to boot from the USB device, did not recognize the device as bootable. Am I missing something? Docs are rather sparse on how to create bootable USB devices on FreeBSD. -- Regards, Doug -- FreeSBIE mailing list (http://www.freesbie.org)
