Well I wouldn't want to even attempt to boot from a pen drive it would be way too slow compared to an HD, as for how it's done, don't ask me as I doubt it could be anyway... :)

You can't even boot from USB on any of the iMacs I use it needs an external firewire drive to boot from another source, thing is why would you want to boot from a USB storage device in the first place, as I say It's way slower than an HD... :confused:


I'm running my A2000/060 and A3000/040 completely on USB sticks plugged into Deneb USB controllers. Works very nicely. I also, using the Icaros guide listed very early in this thread, have run and installed AROS from USB sticks. I have a Dell Mini 9 netbook with Mac OS X Snow Leopard running on its SSD and AROS running from a USB stick when I want to run that OS. It's a pretty speedy and responsive little system in either case.

Anyway, I stumbled a bit at first, as the thread starter has, trying to make it work. But following the guide to the letter will result in success.

Now that's interesting stuff there in regard to the Amigas... :)


LOL! Necessity is the mother of invention. All my old SCSI hard drives are failing and even the new-old-stock SCSI drives I bought as spares were DOA.
