Bootable USB Jumpdrive

[Foster, ThomasX]

Quick question for anyone that might have any input on the subject..

 

I am attempting to make my Lexar Jumpdrive 2.0 Pro 256 Mb USB drive
bootable..

 

I attempted just a minimal installation on it from a CD boot, and then
installed to /dev/da0 .. set a bootable slice, and swap partition,
performed the installation successfully, and reboot.  No such luck.. the
system will not boot from the drive.

 

I have no trouble with other O.S.'s booting from the jumpdrive, and of
course the system BIOS is set to boot from this device.  I was just
curious if anyone has any feedback on this scenario.

 

Thanks
