Hi here,
I thought I'd update freenas (from 9.2 to 9.3) yesterday and seeing as it never caused me any issues I went ahead. Last time I updated things I'd written the image to the flash drive via OSX and all went fine but it seems this time a direct image write isn't possible so I went with installing freenas to USB. Here's what I did:
Seeing as I just have that one thumbdrive that sits in my N40L I couldn't boot off one USB drive and install to the other so I mounted the install ISO image in a virtualbox instance and installed to USB from there. That went fine (well, fine after I updated my BIOS on the N40L - it wouldn't get past POST with the USB installation) EXCEPT that after the post I get "Could not find kernel image: linux" followed by a "boot:" prompt which sounds like a problem to me ... So I figured I *must* have done something wrong and this install isn't the way it should be so I spin up the VM again with the USB connected, and what would you know, GRUB presents me with a choice to boot in freenas.
Does anyone know what could make it such that the kernel image can't be found booting on one host but can on another?
