Comment 1 Thierry Vignaud 2016-05-12 14:51:53 CEST 
BTW what's the point of building live images for ARM?
Most devices don't have CD drives, do they?
Is it for testing trhough USB?

I wonder if any distro have done that...
Anyway that cannot work IMHO as we rely on isolinux/syslinux which doesn't exist for arm AFAIC.

So we would first need to check if any other distro has done it, with which bootloader, then add the needed support for that BL.

My 2 cents
Comment 2 Nicolas Lécureuil 2016-05-12 22:29:21 CEST 
Fixed.I had a pb in my dev mounting command.

With mount --bind /dev /mnt/disk/chroot/bootstrap/dev from my host and not from the chroot ( what i did before ).

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
