Greetings, I have a pink Pogoplug E02 which is running Debian from a USB Drive. It will not boot without the USB installed.

Closing this as I think I've started it in the wrong place. Before continuing into the technical (of how to do this) I'd like to verify what I am trying to accomplish regarding a rescue system. I'll start a new topic Under "Rescue System". Sorry for the confusion.by bowent@encorecsl.com - Rescue System
Greetings, installing rescue system on Pink Pogoplug E02 and am getting errors right out of the gate. Ran command: fw_printenv mtdparts Got this error: ## Error: "mtdparts" not defined Any help appreciated.by bowent@encorecsl.com - Rescue System
Greetings, I've managed to get updated u-boot installed and am able to boot from USB devices. Part of the issue i was having before was that cut and paste of commands from the web site to the putty serial console was failing (but not in a way that was visually noticable). Once i started typing all of the commands, i was able to boot USB ide,USB sata and USB thumb drives. Just wonderinby bowent@encorecsl.com - Debian
Still no joy with root=LABEL=rootfs in setenv bootargs. I suspected janky USB flash drives (three now that will not boot with either "rootfs" or "/dev/sda1" in the bootargs). The only previously successful boot to usb media (with /dev/sda1 bootarg) was accomplished with a mini PCIe SSD in a mini PCIe to sata drive adapter in a USB external drive housing. I've switcby bowent@encorecsl.com - Debian
Success! Big thank you to daviddyer, this was the fix: Change the root=Label=rootfs to root=/dev/sda1 and tftp boot again. Everyone, again, thanks for all your help! So now that I have hacked in (with a lot of help from my friends), I assume I want to update the boot loader (permanently?)? I am assuming that for now, everytime I boot, I'll need to set the env args, tftp boot andby bowent@encorecsl.com - Debian

Greetings, I have a sick pogoplug E02 and am not sure what steps to take to rescue it. i'll include the boot log below, but essentially, the boot never successfully completes. when it is "done" I am not able to enter commands. I am acessing the device via serial console. I can interrupt the boot and enter commands that I assume are boot options and such (U-Boot). I hope toby bowent@encorecsl.com - Debian
