USB booting :: Problem by installing to USB
Hello everybody,
I do not get DSL installed on my USB Stick. I tried to mount the stick before
install but it did not work either...
When i try the DSL USB Pendrive Installation i get the following error messages:

1. Your BIOS must support USB-HDD booting.
2. A single FAT partition will be made.
3. Backup/Restore will be pre setup.
4. Do not have your pendrive mounted.

And with grep scsi -A 3 I get the following:
scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
Vendor: USB Model: Flash Disk Rev: 2.00
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0

Thanks for any help on how to solve this problem.

This means that your stick is a 1GB drive and it is located at device name "sda"
So type in "sda" at the device name of pendrive prompt, not "DSL"
[So type in "sda" at the device name of pendrive prompt, not "DSL"]
Actually, I have this same problem and I am using the correct device.
Anyone have any other ideas?
Make sure that your device name is really sda
Also, make sure that you use lowercase letters
sda
NOT
SDA
Thanks for all the replies,
Now i can install the USB - Key.
