Hello,
Can archlinuxarm boot from usb stick instead left HDD?
I mean to run finally archlinux from USB stick, so to use my 2xHDD to make RAID with mdadm.
I think all I have to do is to replace into usb_key_func.sh.2 (from the "installation" stick) the sda1/2 with sdb1/2 (or sdc I think?) the other USB stick? Hope not to erase the "installation" stick if I mess the dev name.
