I installed extlinux on my USB drive as so:
sudo extlinux -i /mnt/boot
and then
sudo cat /usr/lib/syslinux/bios/mbr.bin > /dev/sdb
where /dev/sdb1 is mounted to /mnt.
However, when I try to boot it up (using qemu), such as so:
sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=/dev/sdb,format=raw,index=0,media=disk -boot c
It says "Missing operating system" and doesn't do anything else.
As for my config, I have a simple:
DEFAULT linux
LABEL linux
SAY Now booting the kernel from SYSLINUX...
KERNEL bzImage
APPEND ro root=/dev/sda1
And the directory structure is like so
/mnt
└── boot
├── bzImage
├── extlinux
│ ├── extlinux.cfg
│ ├── extlinux.conf
│ ├── syslinux.cfg
│ └── syslinux.conf
├── extlinux.cfg
├── extlinux.conf
├── ldlinux.c32
├── ldlinux.sys
├── syslinux.cfg
└── syslinux.conf
I tried creating the config file everywhere, just in case, but it doesn't seem to change anything.
How could I approach this issue?
