I downloaded the minimal image and used the USB Image Tool for Windwos to restore that image to my 4GB PNY Atache USB drive but when i boot it hangs for awile at "Begin: Waiting for root file system... ..." then i get the following error.
Check root = bootarg cat /proc/cmdline or missing modules, devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev
Alert! /dev/sdb3 does not exist. Dropping to Shell
I see alot of people suggesting to edit a plist file using dd.... but how can that be accomplished in Windows? Or is there something else I need to do to get this working?
PLEASE HELP!!
Sam.Nazarko Wrote:Already got a script in mind to run off of atv-bootloader which wgets the image and dds it to the internal disk and stretches the Media partition. That way the user can either restore the Linux image to a USB or the partioning image and it will either run off USB or install it onto the drive for them. I'm planning for this to be configurable through an application.

3. Plug in your USB stick into the PC. Determine which drive it is (/dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc). You can check the drive by either running gparted (system >> administration >> gparted) and clicking through the drives to see how the drive letters are assigned or open up a shell and use the “mount” command to get a readout of mounted drives.

Then what would I do next? If this has been answered somewhere else, I apologize, I have been searching for a few hours now
