Title: BAMT distro won't boot
Post by: jl2035 on July 24, 2012, 11:11:14 AM
I'm trying to boot this BAMT distro.

It's funny 'cause I made a USB key with exactly the same command they provided on their download page:

Code:
dd if=/path/to/bamt.img of=/dev/yourUSBkey

When I try to boot I get this error:

Code:
Missing operating system.
Missing operating system.

Broadcom UNDI PXE-2.1 v11.0.9
Copyright (c) 2000-2008 Broadcom corporation

PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting Broadcom PXE ROM

Operating system not found.

So am I doing something wrong or is my computer some kind of exception!?!?!????
And why don't they make a standard iso file (like all other Linux distros), so it can be done with unetbootin or something?

solved...

I used the dd command wrong. You have to specify USB device (like sdb), not partition (sdb1)...
