Ignite-UX USB Memory Stick Boot

Getting the USB memory stick device name
Use the ioscan command to get the USB stick device name:
# ioscan –C disk | grep 255/
255/1/0.0.0 disk TEAC DV-28E-N
255/1/0.1.0 disk HP USBKey4GB
# ioscan -nfH 255/1/0.1.0
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description

disk 5 255/1/0.1.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP USBKey4GB
/dev/dsk/c2t1d0 /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0
/dev/dsk/c2t1d0s1 /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0s1
/dev/dsk/c2t1d0s2 /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0s2
Use the whole disk device special file name with the script, in this case, c2t1d0. If you are
rebuilding the USB boot content, you might see section (partition) device files (c2t1d0s1 and
c2t1d0s2) – they should not be used.
If your USB configure script is called make_usb_boot and you are using HP-UX 11i v3, you
would run the script with the following command:
# ./make_usb_boot c2t1d0 11.31
The example script includes sh –x, which will show the commands being used to create the boot
content.
Note:
USB flash devices are considerably slower than normal disk devices. Commands that require I/O
might take a minute or so. The HP-UX file system driver caches I/O, so the umount /tmp/mnt
command might take a couple of minutes.
