fai-cd 3.3.4: problem creating boot image on USB stick

[TOUZEAU DAVID]

Dear

Yes i umount properly the device
About details of none want to boot:
Computers claims that there is no system and didn't loading datas on USB 
even usb device is detected on bios.

I have tested 2 different usb sticks : EMTEC and VERBATIM
I will test anothers usb trademarks and send you status

i need to know too if i'm using the right process in order to build an 
FAI usb boot stick ?


best regards
