From USB drive that contains a partition table, when installing firmware from a USB drive, there is the following note:
- Workaround is to format the USB drive without a partition table,
e.g. "mkfs.vfat -I /dev/sdc" (mkfs.vfat actually expects a
partition table, -I override forces it to use the entire device)
Miscellaneous:
- Mounting the root filesystem via NFS (nfsroot) - n order to use a diskless system, such as an X-terminal or printer server for example, it is necessary for the root filesystem to be present on a non-disk device. This may be an initramfs (see Documentation/filesystems/ ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.txt), a ramdisk (see Documentation/admin-guide/initrd.rst) or a filesystem mounted via NFS.
