Imaging Surface Pro 4 using Fog USB bootdisk

[mandrade]

@Tom-Elliott ,

keyboard doesn’t seem to work. Yeah tried that!

Perhaps I should try connecting an external keyboard. Will give that a try and will get back to you.

Further help, in case you need it:

And the only ISO FOG creates is within /tftpboot/ipxe.iso (maybe this is what you were looking for?)

@Tom-Elliott ,

I tried to follow this article but am unable to create the bootdisk. Granted I could be doing something wrong, I am a noob when it comes to Linux.

You tried easy or hard way?

@Tom-Elliott ,

Tried with external keyboard no diffrence.

Trying to catch you in chat.

Did you get this working?

There are 2 different ways of booting a device from a usb stick.

1. Via iPXE into the FOG menu (easy or harder way tutorials)
2. Via placing the FOS engine on the USB and booting from there.

I’ve been working with another forum member on option 2 and it seems both have the same issue with hinfo.txt file not being created, or being created incorrectly.

@george1421 We did get this working.

ALthough the problem specifically here with not network booting had to do more with the fact the keyboard was not recognizable.
