linux with HDD root FS?

Hi All,
still felling a bit stupid so here goes...

I woud like to build my box with boot and kernel in flash, but root etc in
a USB HDD - its kinda confusing from teh posts etc as to how to do this?

Anyone done it? If anyone has done it with Debian even better :)

Thanks

baradhili,

I dont see a very big problem for this.  Add support of ext3 in your kernel
and put it inside flash.


I have tested combinations like:

flash uboot + fat kernel + ext3 file system
flash uboot + ext3 kernel and file system
