I have an oldish PC that only understands booting from 512-byte sectors and then only with MBR disks. I want to install large new disks on it, and no old disks. These don't even pretend to do 512-byte sectors: 4k all the way (3T and 4T sizes aren't good for MBR either). I was thinking that I should be able to use a USB flash memory stick as the boot device, loading GRUB from there, and then having it boot the OS from a big GPT hard disk. The stick would be permanently plugged in. Is there any reason that this might not work? Is there a better way? Are there special GRUB modules that I need to convince GRUB's installer to put on the USB stick? What filesystem type is best for the USB stick? My guess: ext4 is fine. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
