Sudo reboot If you want to learn more about drive-mapping and mounting (and I'm sure you do) this eLinux Guide has a lot more information. Admittedly, I'm not sure exactly what they do, except for allow the drive to be a read-write drive and not tied to a specific user. The flags are ones that I cribbed from the Thomas Loughlin guide. What this does is to map the /dev/sda1 device - any thumb USB drive to the usbdrv directory. add the line to the end of the file (you can copy and paste this line) /dev/sda1 /home/pi/usbdrv vfat uid=pi,gid=pi,umask=0022,sync,auto,nosuid,rw,nouser 0 0 important: this is 1 line, not broken up over two lines (the Instructable is doing weird things to the formatting). Create a GPT (GUID) partition table on your USB drive: partedUtil mklabel /dev/disks/naa.5000000000000001 gpt.
The USB disk is usually named mpx.vmhbaX or naa.X.
We are going to modify the fstab file so that this device maps to the usbdrv directory. Connect an empty USB drive to your ESXi host You can identify the name of the USB drive in the log: /var/log/vmkernel.log or using /dev/disks: ls /dev/disks/. Sudo nano /etc/fstab Here is the tricky part. Now, we are going to edit what is called the file systems table to make the USB drive map into the usbdrv directory Type in: Mine reads: /dev/sda1: LABEL="GITPI" UUID="6D34-1514" TYPE="vfat" This should be the similar on yours: /dev/sda1 is the USB thumb drive device. For the free edition of MemTest86, this file is called, memtest86-usb.img. Inside the Zip there is a 'disk image' file.
MOUNT YOUR USB FLASH DRIVE MAC ZIP FILE
Download the current Memtest86 package as a Zip file from this page. Sudo blkid check out output - we are looking for the USB drive device info, which is easy to identify because we called it GITPI when we initialized it. Creating a MemTest86 bootable USB Flash drive in Linux/Mac. Replace the UUID by your own UUID you get in the prerequisites. Add this line at the end: UUID2014-3D52 /mnt/usb vfat uidpi,gidpi 0 0.
Follow this procedure to add your USB drive in this file: Open /etc/fstab: sudo nano /etc/fstab.
MOUNT YOUR USB FLASH DRIVE MAC INSTALL
Luckily, Microsoft makes a tool that you can use to install Windows from a USB storage. So it can be a pain to install Windows on a new computer. Mkdir usbdrv What we are going to set up is a mount point - a way to always map this directory to the USB drive. We’ll save in this file all information needed to mount our USB drive to /mnt/usb. Most new PCs don't come with DVD drives anymore. Wait a few seconds and then ssh back into the Pi. I'm not sure if this matters, but I always leave the wi-fi dongle in the lower USB port and use the upper one for the external USB drive/keyboard/other things. Put the formatted USB drive into the Raspberry Pi.
