I've created a bootable USB key to install FreeBSD 8 onto an eeePC 901. I created the USB key from Ubuntu, using the following commands:
I put the USB key into the eee PC, and had it boot from it. Almost immediately after the BIOS initializes and boots from the USB key, the screen goes blank (except for a flashing cursor in the upper left corner), and nothing else happens. The USB key LED flickers a few times after BIOS initialization (indicating some IO operations), but that's it.
Any ideas what might be going on here?
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=128M
dd if=/path/to/memstickfile.img of=/dev/sdc bs=10240 conv=sync
