I tried to write the latest x86_64 image to a USB stick. Although in the
terminal output it seems to go through the motions, nothing is actually
written.
1. plug USB stick into slot unmounted.
2. In teminal place command:
{{{
dd if =/boot/home/haiku_install/haiku-nightly-anyboot.image
of=/dev/disk/usb/0/0/raw bs =1M
}}}
Result: The terminal is busy for a few seconds as if writing the image. It
says it has written the full 633Mb and finishes. When I try to mount it in
DriveSetup, it says Error: invalid argument. When I replug the drive there
is no mount option on the right click desktop menu.
When I reboot and try to directly boot from the BIOS with the USB stick,
computer boots to the linux grub menu instead. There has been no image
written to the USB stick.
I can format the USB stick with DriveSetup making sure I initialise with
intel 32 partition map first: create FAT32 or BFS partition. i can mount
these in DriveSetup and copy files to them.
I was doing this in hrev49887 x86_64. I also tried with same results in
one of the latest gcc2 nighties.
