YDL 6.2 from usb thumb drive 16gb

[ppietro]

Can't hide myself anymore, my native language is french... désolé.

Anyway, the answer is not really much better.
sh: /dev/sdd1 : Permission denied

And, yeah - ummm - /dev/sdd1 is not a command either. That's the identifier for the first partition on your external hard disc.

The logic for step 5 is this.

• Take the device that's listed in step 3. [sda] or [sdd] or whatever it is
• Add /dev to the front and 1 to the end. e.g. if [sda], then /dev/sda1, if [sdd] then /dev/sdd1
• This identifies the first partition on your external drive.

(That's the hence part)

Then, run the following commands as root:

• mkdir /mnt/extboot
  
• mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/extboot

(substituting your external drive 1st partition that you calculated above for the /dev/sda1 in the mount command.)

(sdd1 as my PS3 is 60GB).

A does not necessarily equal B in this case. Just because your PS3 is 60 gig does not mean your external drive is /dev/sdd. Make sure you determine that by doing step 3 in the procedure.

Well Paul,
thanks again for your support and patience.

In step 3, my USB drive is shown as [sdd] Attached SCSI removable disk'

Then, run the following commands as root:

Do i have to do something special to run command as root ?

I have tried to type these command
* mkdir /mnt/extboot
* mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt/extboot

mount: Mounting /dev/sdd1 on /mnt/extboot failed: No medium found

So i tried
* mkdir /mnt/extboot
* mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/extboot

i didn't receive an error but i am afraid to continue as my USB drive is clearly identified as sdd.

Once again, sorry for those "stupid" newbie questions and thanks for your patience.

Cheers
