Install Mikrotik Via Usb Flashdisk
Yes, but: It would be extremely neat and handy to be able to insert a USB stick 'with the equivalent of the.ISO' Boot from USB, run the installer which then puts ROS on the default (main) partition (compact flash or DOM) I know this is really only an issue for x86-users where netinstall might not be an option. YVMV Regards I understand and we'll see how hard it is to make, but as I said - you can simply place the soon-to-be-router HDD in a windows machine, Netnstall it, move it back to it's own PC and boot to install. I understand that it's not so quick as the suggested way, but at least it's a working way. Ya I would agree don't put it high on the list. MLPPP is a much more needed function. I use USB sticks to install windows, and it works quite well.
And yes, I know you 'burn' the ISO, but the question is why can't you put a ISO on a Flash drive. I can burn a CD ISO on a DVD, so whats the difference? Why would it not see other controllers during an installation? Because 'burning an iso' is quite different than copying an iso (to a flash drive).
Install Mikrotik di USB Flashdisk? File instalasi yang ditanam pada USB FlashDisk ini dapat dijakankan di PC/Laptop yang support booting via USB Drive. Dengan adanya bootable flashdisk Mikrotik RouterOS ini kita dapat. Klik Install Jika sudah. Restart Laptop Anda lalu Setup BIOS untuk first boot melalui USB.
Iso is just a container. You would have to get a different kind of image (not an ISO) and then 'dd' it to the drive. We don't provide such images at the moment.
We did do it some time ago. FATAL ERROR: no CD-ROM found Press ENTER to reboot[/b] It seems that it is looking for a CD-ROM device only? I get the same message if I extract the ISO contents to the FAT32 USB flash drive. You have to emulate the CD to get past this detection. The zalman virtual image box emulates an usb mass storage device (usb CDROM) which the the kernel enumerates during the boot process.
This is something that most USB gear does: like the 3G-sticks which have the 'driver' diskette embedded, or some promotion USB drives which are detected as a HDD *and* a CDrom. Generally booting iso from usb is easy, i did this several times with other 'OS' (if you consider windows xp as an OS). If you have grub or grub4dos you can create a memdisk, which holds the entire contents of the iso file, promote it to be a drive, and boot off from it. But then it's just an int13h device (hard disk). Enable Rdp Vista Home Sp2 there. You can however tweak linux kernel to look for iso-s and mount them while booting: it however requires this feature to be compiled in the kernel. But you can give it a try and modify the kernel boot parameters in the 6.6 ISO file.
Apa keuntungannya? Dengan adanya bootable flashdisk Mikrotik RouterOS ini kita dapat mendistribusikannya ke pc-pc tanpa harus menggunakan harddisk dimana media hardisk ata-ide/sata relatif lebih mudah rusak disebabkan efek putaran harddisk tsb dapat merusak kepingan harddisk. Dengan menggunakan bootable Mikrotik RouterOs pada flashdisk maka kendala tersebut dapat teratasi. Dengan demikian kita dapat mengcustom sebuah box mikrotik dengan board murah meriah + flashdisk sebagai RouterOS nya Kelemahannya: Karena reading dan writing to flashdisk maka untuk seluruh hal yang sifatnya save to harddisk akan jauh lebih lambat, seperti misalnya web-proxy caching, sebaiknya jangan mengaktifkan cachenya. Untuk performance lainnya tidak berpengaruh karena akses write read to flashdisknya tidak besar.
Berikut ini beberapa hal yang perlu dipersiapkan: 1. Software Netinstall 2. Paket RouterOS 3.
