    CubeRevo Multi-Boot How To TUT

    Multi-boot USB Pen complete guide for gimps by a gimp


    This is how I got my usb pen multi-booting with a lot of help from: bro satman aftermath & jamie-warez


    First make sure not to forget to upgade box with multiboot upgrade before trying to boot from usb


    Press menu> Plug-in> nlbpanel.plugin> USB Option> Format USB first then Mount USB
     
    Telnet into box & you should see this:
    welcome to cuberevo
    cuberevo login: root
    Password:
    System bootup in progress - please wait
    [Disconnect bypassed -- root login allowed.]
    CubeRevo
    Custom release - No Limits Board -->
    Release Edition - nlb9207
    [NLB cuberevo /]$
    input
    Code:
    [B]mount[/B]
    Returns this
    [NLB cuberevo /]$ mount
    rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
    /dev/root on / type squashfs (ro)
    none on /dev type tmpfs (rw)
    /dev/mtdblock4 on /var type jffs2 (rw)
    none on /mnt type tmpfs (rw)
    none on /tmp type tmpfs (rw)
    none on /tmp/mqueue type mqueue (rw)
    proc on /proc type proc (rw)
    sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
    devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
    tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
    /dev/sda2 on /mnt/usb/usb0 type ext3 (rw,data=ordered)
    [NLB cuberevo /]$
    This is where I was having trouble my pen was on sda2 not sdb1 because i had no HDD fitted,depending on what you have installed on your box (usb / usb+hdd / hdd) if you have you will see another line:
    /dev/sda2 on /media type ext3 (rw,data=writeback)
    Input
    Code:
    [B]umount /mnt/usb/usb0[/B]
    So I had to change it to this sda not sdb again because no HDD fitted
    Code:
    [B]fdisk /dev/sda[/B]
    Input
    Code:
    [B]p[/B]
    Returns this
    Disk /dev/sda: 1006 MB, 1006108672 bytes
    255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 122 cylinders
    Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
    Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
    /dev/sda2 1 948 1956656 83 Linux
    This shows there are 1 partion on the usb pen
    Code:
    [B]d[/B]
    That deletes the partion
    Disk /dev/sda: 1006 MB, 1006108672 bytes
    255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 122 cylinders
    Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
    Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
     
     
    Input
    Code:
    [B]n[/B]
    That creates a new partion
    Input
    Code:
    [B]p[/B]
    That selects it as the primary partion
    Input
    Code:
    [B]1[/B]
    Code:
    [B]enter[/B]
    Code:
    [B]enter[/B]
    They set the size of the partion
    Code:
    [B]w[/B]
    That writes the data to the usb pen & returns this
    The partition table has been altered!
    Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
    Syncing disks.
    This is where i had trouble again look out for sda or sdb depending on what you have installed on your box (usb / usb+hdd / hdd)
    Code:
    [B]mkfs.ext2 /dev/sda1[/B]
    That writes the file system to the usb pen best advice is set it to ext2 not ext3 & Returns this
    mke2fs 1.38 (30-Jun-2005)
    Filesystem label=
    OS type: Linux
    Block size=4096 (log=2)
    Fragment size=4096 (log=2)
    122624 inodes, 244983 blocks
    12249 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user
    First data block=0
    8 block groups
    32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group
    15328 inodes per group
    Superblock backups stored on blocks:
    32768, 98304, 163840, 229376
    Writing inode tables: done
    Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done
    This filesystem will be automatically checked every 34 mounts or
    180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
    Input
    Code:
    [B]mount -t ext2 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb/usb0[/B]
    again watch here for sda1 or sdb1
    That mounts the usb pen onto the box
    Input
    Code:
    [B]cd /mnt/usb/usb0[/B]
    That changes the directory your working in
    Now you should ftp the E2 image into mnt/usb/usb0
    Back to telnet
    Input
    Code:
    [B]tar -zxvf e2image.tar.gz[/B]
    That extracts the file & makes a image on the usb pen.
    It takes about 5 min at the end you should see something like this flying by in the telnet window
    usr/local/share/enigma2/radio.mvi
    var
    var/myepg
    var/myepg/opentv
    var/myepg/myepg_start.sh
    var/etc
    var/etc/.firstboot
    var/etc/rcS_user.sh
    var/etc/SIFTeam
    var/bin
    With No errors wait till you see this
    [NLB cuberevo usb0]$
    Wait at least 30 seconds Then input
    Code:
    [B]sync[/B]
    Code:
    [B]sync[/B]

    Hope this helps
