You can type
Quote
kernel linux/zImage.tns
cmdline root=/dev/sda rootdelay=10
in manually to test it, if it works, save it as bootscript.
If you don't have any partitions on you usb drive, it should work. If you're using the first partition, you have to use /dev/sda1.

I have updated ndless and all the Linux files on my calculator and the file system on the flash drive, but when it boots it comes up with a lot of errors (see attachment below, the errors have always said the same thing). The USB files are at sda (not sda1) because the read light came on with the sda command and not the sda1 version. Don't know what to do now... :-\ Correction, now the light isn't coming on at all... Under what conditions does that bug occur with the OTG cable where it isn't recognised?

Do you plug in the USB after the 10 seconds text, or does it matter?
Really hope I can get this to work, because Linux on a calculator is just plain cool!
I support this kind of hacking: making things do things that those things weren't originally meant to do.

How are you preparing the USB drive?

Linux virtual machine:
Downloaded the largest filesystem image
Pluged in USB flash drive
Formatted to ext2 filesystem with the name nSpireDisk
Mounted to /media/nSpireDisk
In a terminal ran: tar -xvf [image filename] -C /media/nSpireDisk

On your virtual machine.

To make sure USB host always works, try reading up http://hackspire.unsads.com/wiki/index.php/Linux#USB

What if you add a rdsize 0x4000 before the boot?

let me try.... do I run them as 2 seperate commands or all in one? for example rdsize 0x4000 (enter) boot or rdsize 0x4000 boot (enter)?
