I've been trying to get gpxe to boot from a USB drive, and even an internal hard drive, but no luck. Using the ISO for a CD works perfectly, but a USB key would be much more convenient. The .usb and .dsk files that download appear to be corrupt every time as no application can open them (winimage says they are corrupt), or the contents when dd to a disk under linux are corrupt. Copying the contents of the .iso to a USB drive or internal HD does not result in a bootable system regardless of the format or setup of the drive.<br>
<br>
Has anyone managed to make a bootable USB key or internal drive with the gpxe environment and if so precisely how?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
Yadin<br>
