Debian Squeeze/Wheezy on Ultra 2?
Is there a way to get rid of all the netgear stuff and just install vanilla Debian on the Ultra 2? I connected a serial adapter and I'm able to fiddle with the BIOS and select a USB stick as the st...
Hi,
Following this discussion I have some quick questions about the Ultra 2 BIOS that I'm hoping someone can answer.
I know the BIOS first tries to boot from the internal 128MB stick. Failing that, will it proceed to try any of the internal hard drives? And if so, can it boot from GPT disks?
I'm asking because I currently have to have the USB drive mounted in order to update the kernel or tweak the initramfs. I would like to boot from /boot on (one of) the drives, or failing that I'd like to bootstrap and then pull an evil smile on that internal stick. But the logical first thing to try is to have the bootloader outside of the USB drive, hence my questions.
Thanks!
