Hi,
I have a Arch Linux installation on my NSA 325 (booting from the sata HD). The device has a stock Marvell U-Boot 1.1.4. Now I wanted to run Debian from USB, but I can't get it working.
First I set the device to boot from the USB with the "usb-debian-uboot.tar.gz". Then I installed the system following the instructions from here and using a single ext3 partition.
Trough the serial console I can see that the device tries to boot from the USB drive but it fails with:
However, if I prepare the USB stick with two partitions (boot on ext2 and rootfs with ext4) and move the contents of the boot directory from rootfs into boot partition, the device does boot into Debian but now the rootfs is mounted read only.
Searching the forum didn't help so now clueless. I would appreciate any help, thanks in advance.
