Boot centos5 with USB flash drive The company just bought a server, and the system was chosen as centos5.6. Because there is no USB drive, I tried to install the mobile hard disk and read the tutorial. I tried to install the USB flash drive, start it, and install everything successfully, however, after the installation is complete, you need a USB flash drive to start. It turns out that you need to select the grub Pilot installation location during the installation process, because this error has been a waste of time! Finally, I found a document to introduce the solution. Thanks to Google! (Although the document was found in Baidu Library ...)
