Making a x86 Mer bootable
Partition your boot device, make a ext3 partition. In the following, sda1 is your ext3 partition and sda is your boot device. Only install this on a USB stick or whatever that you want to have possibly destroyed.
- mkdir -p /mnt/mer
- mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1
- mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/mer
- Grab a release x86-generic tar.gz and put in /mnt/mer, tar pzvxf it from within /mnt/mer OR Use imager from above and sh imager targets/mer-x86-generic-only-fs /mnt/mer
- grub-install --no-floppy --recheck --root-directory=/mnt/mer /dev/sda
- chroot /mnt/mer update-grub
- verify your /mnt/mer/boot/grub/menu.lst looks correct
- umount /mnt/mer (if you can)
