-
Hi, so I have the following system set up:

RAM: http://www.picco.nl/product_info.php?products_id=283
Flash Disk: http://www.picco.nl/product_info.php?products_id=256The bios supports all kind of USB booting, now I tried some stuff biut can't seem to
put the live cd onto a USB stick.I can't add an cd rom drive since I only have one IDE port and I can't put the IDE flash
disk on an IDE cable.what am I forgetting here…
tnx guys!

The link to your Flash-Disk does not work.
From what i read from the Link of your Mainboard you have have up to 4 IDE devices attached.
You can connect 2 Devices per IDE Port (Master and Slave). -
that's correct, but I only have one physical IDE slot on the MB, so that means I can only connect one thing at the same time.
I can't connect my flash drive as on an IDE cable since it's a female connector, unless I had a male to male IDE connector, but I don't at this moment, and all stores are closed on sunday.
so usb didn't worked… I opened my external laci hard drive to get out the IDE to USB controller and used that one to put the flash disk on, it worked perfectly.
I booted from the live CD, and installed it to my flash disk using command 99, placed the flash disk back on the MB and was able to get it booted, however after a while in the boot process I get the request to enter a manual root filesystem specification. <fstype>: <device>when I list the valid disk boot devices I get:
ad0s1c ad0s1b ad0s1a ad0s1 ad0and teh command line says <mountroot>I'm new to this all so what should I do now? which volume do I need to boot and what flile system should I use.
tnx for any input :-)</mountroot></device></fstype>
