Raspbian on the HDD for booting (SOLVED)
Posted: Thu Feb 28, 2013 11:07 am
Hello community.
I have a quick question about booting from USB HDD.
Yes, before to post i googled, but my situation is unique.
I have a "465GB" HDD with ext3 and swap (128Mb) partitions. Ext3 has many files and folders, because i used this HDD with my router (rtorrent, ncdc usage, etc).
I want somehow Raspbian being installed to HDD, and then, by writing some simple for "/boot/config" on the SD card, force to load OS from HDD.
So the question is, can i install Raspbian to HDD without removing files (just renaming them)?
If yes, which tool can do this?
And i quess, even if installation will be successful, i still need correct "code" for "/boot/config" on the SD card.
Thanks in Advance.
