Hi Linux fans,

I'm trying to boot Debian from USB by using feraga deb2flash script:

http://feraga.com
http://svn.feraga.com/filedetails.php?repname=Deb2Flash&path=%2Ftrunk%2Fdeb2flash.py&rev=0&sc=0

I installed Debian onto flash disk with no problem. But, my computer
refuses to boot from it, no matter what I try
How do I make bootable floppy that loads 'feraga_Debian' from USB
flash?

Debian already has a special boot floppy for booting systems that can't
boot off USB drives directly to boot. I used it to install Debian on an
IBM 240X notebook, which can only boot off the hard drive or floppy, to
boot and install Debian off the USB CD-ROM drive.

My primary concern is in whether or not the BIOS will recognise the USB stick at boot, and how I might encourage it to do so, or - alternatively - get to the boot stage and then do the rest with a memory stick. ... It depends on the laptop, my GF has a Sony VAIO TR somthingorother which won't boot any USB device except a Sony USB floppy, apparently it's a BIOS restriction, don't know if it'll net boot either as I've never tried, but that may be your best option. ...
