I’m trying to construct a bootable USB stick for installing F19 on an IBM 812L.  So far nothing I’ve tried has produced anything that the system will recognize as bootable media (i.e. the USB port/drive doesn’t appear as an option in the SMS boot-device menus).  The non-solutions so far are:

 

-  dd a mock/pungi-generated installation iso to the USB stick

-  format the stick as VFAT and _copy_ the iso contents to it

-  construct a disk image containing a small bootable PReP partition with the yaboot binary dd’d into it and an ext3 partition with the iso contents in it.  Then dd the entire image file to the USB stick and confirm that the partition table and contents are as expected…

 

Is there something else I should try?

 

Thanks,
