I don't have it in the boot device list but I do boot Knoppix from USB by choosing CD for boot then switching to the USB stick with the knoppix boot option
where sdb1 would be your USB dev handle relative to the virtual machine
- however, since I've upgraded to 4.x this runs EXTREMELY slow whether I have EHCI usb 2.0 on or off. it's at least a workaround.. i'm sure you could script a bootable cd ISO to do this for you when you choose CD - I just hope my usb speed issue is fixed in the near future, i may have to downgrade.
Code: Select all
