Install debian armhf on tablet "surface rt"
Hi folks,
I am trying to install debian on a Surface RT.
Being on 2/3rd on the way, I am now stuck, but an easy problem.
At the momant, I am t the ponit, that I can boot from an USB-stick. The USB-stick is loaded with grub (a special version for the Surface RT).
On the stick I put the installation iso-file. I want to use an ISO, because when thuis is working, other live-images (like kali-linux) can be installed, too.
Booting is starting, grub is starting, after 10 seconds it shall boot the iso.
But at this point I am stuck.
As there is only a grub.cfg, I think there is an entry missing. When grub is wanting to boot, I get an error, pointing to "loopback"
What is wrong? This is the entry in grub:
----snip ---
set timeout=10
set root='hd1,msdos2'
set isofile="/debian-10.0.0-armhf-xfce-CD-1.iso"
menuentry "Install OS" {
loopback debian $isofile
}
insmod font
if loadfont ${prefix}/unicode.pf2
then
insmod gfxterm
set gfxmode=auto
set gfxpayload=keep
terminal_output gfxterm
else
reboot
fi
---- snap --------
I am not sure, if "hd1,msdos2" is correct, windows is showing it as drive D:\, what let me think, hd0 is the harddrive, hd1 is the usb-stick.
If I get the iso running, I will tell about my progress.
Thanks for any help and hints.
Best regards
Hans
