Subject: FW: [linux-usb-devel] boot from usb storage
Date: Mon, 11 Nov 2002 08:16:59 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7A5D4FEED80CD61192F2001083FC1CF9065048@CHARLY> (raw)
Can any-one comment on this here?
In short:
Is it possible to boot from portable USB DVD drive?
Is this supported in BIOSes?
Will kernel be able to find a root?
P.S. I'm not subscribed - please CC.
