Target device is now set up with a Live image!
- To Boot USB
- hold "option" key while turning on Mac until a EFI USB image appears on screen to the right of the Mac HD
- select ====> EFI with right arrow "Enter"
Soasv5-Coconut prebuilt Virtualbox Appliance
- http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit#Sugar_on_a_Stick-V5-Coconut
- Just import 2 files from above link ^
dd writable 2GB USB Soas-v5-Coconut-USB .img
- built with liveusb-creator in f16 with persistence file from
- USB 2 GB Firefly
- reduced to 1.66GiB with gparted*

- NOTE dd may complain that it is unable to write to your USB "No space left on device."
- Disregard as it will work (this is due to gparted resizing)
Write to a Smaller 2 GB (1.87GiB) USB

EFI Boot
- MacBook i7 with option key on boot
- finds USB EFI
dropping to a debug shell: sh: can't access tty; job control turned off dracut:/#
- Looks like new grub-EFI may be included on live builds
- Proposing as NTH for F16 Final (10/11/2011) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735023
- This may mean that a f 16 Soas Live USB would boot on a EFI (Mac) computer.
Notes on EFI boot from USB
- Fedora 16 RC
- Only Present in f16 RC Netinstall and DVD.
- Does not work on live CD's

- http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/16.TC1/Live/x86_64/Fedora-16-TC1-x86_64-Live-SoaS.iso
- Alternate D/L:
- Note "liveinst" command does not install to HD correctly.
- Installs 2 1 MiB partitions the first is not formatted second is labeled. Does not boot
- This is fixed in f16 nightly 2011016.20 tested here.

- Boots Fine
Install to HD (liveinst)
f16 disk utility
format HD format partion ext4
- Discovered that using gparted to format the HD partition on Ubuntu causes liveinst failure as it cannot see the 1 MiB first partition.
- NOR can the installer
liveinst
Boot Live Soas CD terminal: liveinst custom ext4 / [format] (not allowed to use existing ext4 fs) installing bootloader
- Works Great. boots to firstboot....gdm login
