:Hi Toagac.

:It is possible and I've done it using the Mike p4 kernel and bootmii. I don't have USB hard drive, but i succeeded using USB memory stick instead. You have to hexedit the kernel of your choice f.e [http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gc-linux/mikep4-zImage-2.6.31.mini.576i(PAL).elf this (mike p4 mini kernel, only working with] [[bootmii]].) find the line "root=" and change the /dev/mmcblk0p2 to /dev/sda1 - of course, you have to copy the existing filesystem to the USB hard drive first, a task easily done by running rsync on the current sd-card installation (as user root) with the following command:

+

:<source lang="c">

+

rsync -avHx --delete / /the/mountpoint/ofyour/usbharddrives/root/

+

</source>

+

:The hexedit part might be tricky but I'll write a better tutorial for it somewhere in the near future.
