USB booting :: Where is my USB-stick?



Hi,

I want to install DSL on my USB-stick.
I can see it in /proc/bus/usb/devices
But where in /dev is it?
Is there a way to find out?

/Kabo

UPDATE:
using
dmesg | grep scsi -A 3
I found out that my USB-stick is at /dev/scsi2
But when I try to install DSL to /dev/scsi2 it says "/dev/scsi2 not supported by hdparm" and "/dev/scsi21: No such file or directory".
So now what? :)

UPDATE 2:
If I mount /dev/scsi2 to /mnt/pendrive/ it seems to point to /proc/bus/usb it contains the same files anyway...
*very confused*

Usually mounting /dev/sdXx to /mnt/sdXx is where usb pens are used.
fstab and directories should be autocreated with the pen in place, so you can just mount the directory.

You could try
Code Sample
ls /mnt/sd*

Nothing starting with sd in /mnt
Not in fstab either. But I did find
Code Sample
/proc/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs rw,devmode=0666 0 0

in /etc/mtab. Does that give a clue?

That just means you have a usb bus afaik.

I suppose you don't have your pendrive partitioned yet?

Well, I have stuff on it so I assume that it's partioned (1 partion).

EDIT:
On startup I see
Code Sample

Checking for myDSL apps... FAT: bogus logical sector size 55438
VFS: Can't fin a valid FAT filesystem on dev 03:05
modbprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module efs
Done.
INIT: Entering runlevel: 5
FAT: bogus logical sector size 55438
VFS: Can't fin a valid FAT filesystem on dev 03:05
modbprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module efs
usb-storage: host_reset() requested but not implemented

Does that help?
