Description alex 2008-07-28 17:42:32 UTC
/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin should be really /usr/share/syslinux/mbr.bin on 2008.0
syslinux /dev/sdc1 would lead to a message that file blah.conf (can't remember the exact name) contains an error on line 3. should comment that line out to match the rest of the file.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. follow the steps in tutorial
2. try to boot

Actual Results:  
the system would restart silently after loading the kernel

Expected Results:  
see the command prompt

We (releng) have nothing to do with this document. It was originally written by some developer who isn't a member of releng and has now retired.

Bugs against documentation (/doc/en/) should be assigned to the GDP (docs-team@), unless it's a /proj/en/ doc, in which case it should go to that project.

This one should have gone to us. Fixed now.

Excuse me, fixed what? Have you managed to get a working live-usb system following the howto?
Comment 4 nm (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-07-29 04:12:23 UTC
The document is fixed to point to the correct location of mbr.bin.
