This is probably because the USB stick has an MBR partition table which by default only provides partitions 1-4.

After that point nothing's going to work because your new root filesystem (/target/) is faulty, and is now read-only, so there's no way to create the /target/boot directory, so the mount of the boot partition fails. My guess would be an underlying hardware fault on whatever /dev/sda2 is. I don't suppose there's any chance it's a fake USB stick - see: http://oss.digirati.com.br/f3/ (packaged for Debian as ``f3'') Cheers, Phil. -- |)| Philip Hands [+44 (0)20 8530 9560] HANDS.COM Ltd. |-| http://www.hands.com/ http://ftp.uk.debian.org/ |(| Hugo-Klemm-Strasse 34, 21075 Hamburg, GERMANY
