Creating backup bootloader on USB stick

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Hi,

I tried to create a backup bootloader on USB stick, but it failed.

I have a SLED 10 on my Lenovo ideapad and like to try other systems. Therefore I like to have a backup bootloader handy.

The formatting was successfull but no os was found trying to boot from.

What am I doing wrong ?

If yast isn’t good to do it, how to do it with command line ?

Thanks

Lothar

Just use the original boot CD.
SLED related questions go to forums.novell.com, so please ask there!

My Lenovo Netbook contains only a recovery DVD. So I cannot use creating other bootloader disks (USB/FD).

I need a manual approach, as of yast seems not capable to do that. I have read some instructions but I like to be save.

Is there a manual way for SLED ?

Could I use the openSuSE 10.1 install DVD to make this ?

Thanks

Lothar
