How to boot from a usb image?


I want to boot the live cd of the latest Solaris Image (11.3), but I do not have a DVD drive, just a CD drive. I tried downloading the ISO image and making a bootable USB with it (using Rufus), but every time I tried, it gave a boot error when booting from the USB. There is a .USB image on the Solaris site though. How do I create a bootable USB with that?


Solution

  • Just copy it to your unmounted USB key underlying raw device with dd.
