Also, another thing to consider is if installation to USB worked correctly, then nvram would be updated to boot the USB drive by default. Is this what people would want since I would think most USB instalations would be temporary or for testing/trying out purposes? It would be good if the installer gave the user an option to update nvram or not.
In my persistence instructions I pass --ofboot "&device;:2" --nonvram This allows the device to be connected to any usb port and doesn't update nvram. That is assuming the installation is on partition 2. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/956481 Title: ppc: YabootInstaller doesn't handle USB drive installation so well To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/yaboot-installer/+bug/956481/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
