FAI ISO?

[John G. Heim]

I know this is a long shot but I am hoping someone has an answer. I have 
been booting from a CD when I install FAI. I now have a machine without 
a CD-ROM drive. I know I should set up PXE eventually but for today, i'd 
like to boot from a flash drive. I know I can just copy an ISO file to a 
thumb drive to make it boot. This works with the debian netinst image 
and grml. So if your debian netinst images is called debian.iso, you can 
do this to create a bootable thumbedrive:

cp debian.iso /dev/sdb


But if I do that with my FAI ISO, it does not work. The thumb drive is 
not bootable. I did double check that my FAI ISO image is bootable. If I 
write it to a CD, it boots.

wodim fai.iso

This gives me a bootable CD. But the following does not give me a 
bottable thumb drive:

cp fai.iso /dev/sdb
