Title: USB BOOT FOMR CD HANGS
Post by: ChrisEnns on December 16, 2009, 15:51:13 PM
I choose to boot from usb from the plop boot manager, it says loading boot manager and then hangs with ............... across the screen. I have a external cdrom connected through the usb.

more detailed infos would be useful.
you started the boot manager from an usb cdrom drive and then used the usb boot option from the boot manager?

I started Plop Boot manager from a floppy drive and then chose to boot from usb. It says loading boot sector then hangs. It seems its reading the cdrom but hangs

does that still apply?

i have an older neoware thin client with bios without usb support and flashed plop into bios, but booting from usb-cdrom hangs at the stage when plop is loading bootsector from cdrom. it is usb 1.1. but force usb 1.1 mode1/2 does not help

boot from usb stick does not seem to work either...

is support being planned or do i need to look after another solution? (which probably doesn`t exist)
