[Server-devel] Using XO HW with an XS image

Hi Martin,

My plans were similar to yours, except an additional step (step 1), consisting
of install the XS image via Virtualbox running on a debian host.
So far, I have some problems with the connectivity from within Virtualbox.
Next todo is to resolve this issue.

The next planned steps are:
Step 2: to install the XS on a USB drive and
Step 3: to boot on the usb from a standard laptop

Step 6 to boot the XS server on the usb drive from the XO

Before step 6, I am actually experenting two additional steps,
Step 4: the (successfull) installation of a debian system on a SD card
+ the (failed) booting of a debian system from a SD card (results in a kernel
panic)
Step 5: to install + run ubuntu on a usb stick.

Best regards,

Samy
