Read/Write to USB stick when using the 3.1 CD image

Hi,
I'm trying to save the config info onto a usb stick and be able to ready it during boot up from a CD. How do I do this when booting from Bering-uClibc_3.1_iso_bering-uclibc-iso.bin? Normally I would make a bootable usb usb stick using the 3.1 usb image but I've got some PIII boxes that can't boot from usb. Is there a document explaining this type of setup?

Hello,
First, make sure that you have loaded the proper usb kernel modules for your system in your initrd. I have a router that has OHCI usb root hubs on the motherboard and the stock initrd with the Bering CD image would not work since most intel systems have UHCI root hubs. Once you have the modules loading at boot, then do something like this to your leaf.cfg on the usb device that you created with the bering packages on it: # The first entry is the backup device. # If equal packages exist on multiple devices, the ones on the left most device PKGPATH="/dev/sda1:msdos" Also, on the bootable CD have your isolinux.cfg configured like this: display syslinux.dpy timeout 0 append reboot=bios default linux initrd=initrd.lrp init=/linuxrc rw root=/dev/ram0 LEAFCFG=/dev/sda1:msdos The last line above is all one line by the way. It's been a while since I set this up but I think that this is mostly what is needed to make it work. I have two systems like this that I maintain and they both work well. One has OHCI usb and the other has UHCI usb.

Thanks, Fred, for the instructions. Some questions:
1. I presume I have to rebuild the CD image to use the usb initrd since I have an Intel board? 2. I don't see an isolinux.cfg on the 3.1 CD. There is a syslinux.cfg so I guess that's the equivalent to isolinux.cfg? 3. Did you have to rebuild the bootdisk.ima?
