Install TinkerOS to HDD

[eltanque]

I found one video on YouTube
"Asus Tinker Board Run Tinker OS From USB Or External Hard Drive"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLlMWfDfpzw

That installation still requires and boots from an SD card, with the OS running from the HDD. I believe what the OP is wants/is doing is booting fully from a portable drive without the need of an SD card, like the RPi3 and raspbian.

Confirmed. I've installed it a USB memory stick and it's fine, so yes a HDD can't spin up quickly enough to satisfy the boot loader. Now how do I pause the boot loader for 10 seconds while it spins up?

How did you do this? writing the image directly to a USB and just plug and play? have you tried the rootwait option?

Does anyone know how to setup the extlinux.conf to boot from USB with the updated official image?

Code:

label kernel-4.4
   kernel /zImage
   fdt /rk3288-miniarm.dtb
   append  earlyprintk quiet splash plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles console=tty1 rw init=/sbin/init

Again I know little about linux, would it realy be as easy as:

Code:

root=/dev/partID

somewhere on the 4th line?

This works for me
  append  earlyprintk quiet splash plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles root=/dev/sda1 console=tty1 rw init=/sbin/init
