There should be a KNOPPIX file within the KNOPPIX folder.
If there is, I guess you could try the fromhd=/dev/sdXx bootcode

I have the same issue booting from a "aztex" 256mg flash drive.
have tried most everything and still it will not boot farther.

and help in how to define where the bootloader should look for the KNOPPIX filesystem...

thank

You can also try fromusb,
and/or experiment with the power options perhaps

Also make sure that your system supports either usb-hdd or a usb-zip (and utilize the correct one)

I use the dsl-3.1RC1.iso image.
I'm trying make as wrote in FAQ:

Quote
In the Fluxbox menu, go Apps >> Tools >> Install to USB Pendrive and choose either USB-ZIP emulation or USB-HDD emulation, depending on what is supported by your computer's bios.


In the beginning usb-flash (512) is partitioning, then formatting, making /dev/sdb1&/dev/sdb2

then it makes boot loader, boot image
and setting up system image:

cp: writing `mnt/pendrive/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX: No space left on device
1 write faild
Done.
Usb installation has been completed.

imho usbpen not boots, because system image not full.
