OMG!!!,.. I must have been very tired this morning, because it does work
after all and the squashfile is loading and decompressing :-p. The only
issue now is that it gets to a certain point and then complains with:<br><br><i>nfsmount: need a path</i><br><br>Then it goes to what looks like a generic debian screen titled "BOOT FAILED!" with the following information:<br>
<br><i>live-boot will now start a shell. The error message was:<br>Unable to find a live file system on the network<br><br>BusyBox v1.17.1 (Debian 1:1.17.1-8) built-in shell (ash)<br>Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.<br>
<br>/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off<br>(initramfs)<br></i><br>and then a flashing cursor.<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jul 19, 2011 at 14:05, John Schultz <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jschultz0614@gmail.com">jschultz0614@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
