Hi, 
  what exactly does the tohd do? 
  I'm using DSL-N. My HD is NTFS on SATA. So I understand that tohd would fail. So I cheated by copying everything from my USB disk to the NTFS disk via windows. But that doesn't work. I'm wondering why.
  I see a similar question posted on Jan. 15 2007 http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....=+tohd= which is having the same problem, but is un-answered. 
  Here is the details, FYI,
  I think the knoppix/KNOPPIX file is the only one that the boot is looking for. It is there, on my NTFS disk:
  $ ls -l knoppix/KNOPPIX  -r-xr-xr-x    1 knoppix  knoppix  97063802 Jan 25 16:00 knoppix/KNOPPIX*
  My PC is Dell, I enabled directl USB boot. then I boot with 
 
 | Code Sample  |   fb1280x1024 fromhd=/dev/sda2 
  |  
 
  But it does not work:
 
 | Code Sample  |   $ mount | grep /cdrom /dev/sdb1 on /cdrom type vfat (ro,nodiratime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1)
  |  
 
  still booted from my USB key.
  please help.
  thanks
