Hi, while I can boot memstick images just fine (which are created using makefs/mkimg), doing the same thing using gpart/newfs_msdos -F 12/.. I am not able to get anything that boots. On a Thinkpad (secure boot is off) from the “boot device chooser from ‘BIOS’” I get a quick blank screen and am back at the chooser. I’ve tried the gpart “thinkpad hack” as well as trying an MBR (why that should work I don’t know but the memstick one does) and GPT options of various kinds. Anyone successfully done this lately? /bz
