    2009
    "Trying to find TRK on your 0 CD-drive(s)"
    "Seems we didn't find teh TRK medium"
    Then it asks me to manualy enter the device, so I give my USB stick which is "sdb1"
    and again "/trk/trk3/trkramfs: No such file or directory"
    and I get root@(none):# promp

    0 How to get Trinity Rescue Kit up and running


    _ 1. Copy the TRK ISO contents to the "Root" of your USB Stick
    F
    0 2. Rename your USB stick to "TRK_3-3" without quotes... if you do not do this it will give you the
    0 error that it cannot find the CD etc.

    Edit/Note
    When using updatetrk it copies everything from the root of where TRK was booted and rebuilds
    which is going to thrash your usb stick and probably not work after it does... that is if you have
    other files like BT4 etc on it... to get around this at least for now you can trk2usb it on another
    usb update that one then copy the files over to the Multipass

    Trinity is working from it's own directories


    1. create the trinity USB as shown in the show from the CD using the command line
    2. copy all of the files on the trinity usb to /boot/trinity/ on your multipass usb drive - except
    /trk3 dir
    3. copy the /trk3 directory from the trinity usb to root of the multipass usb
    When it boots it will ask you to identify where your USB is located (usually /sdb1)
    title Trinity Rescue Kit
    kernel /boot/trinity/kernel.trk initrd=/boot/trinity/initrd.trk ramdisk_si
    initrd /boot/trinity/initrd.trk

    This isn't perfect because you still have to tell it where the usb drive is but it keeps the root
    directory clean.

    Cheater's Trinity How To:


    I'm being lazy and this is how i got trinity to work for me.
    1) make a fat16 partition 128MB or larger behind the original one with the lable TRK_3-3.
    2) boot into trk from cd and run trk2usb -n -d /dev/sdxY Where x= letter of thumb drive and Y=
    the number of partition if it's the second one then Y=1
    3) edit your menu.lst to have the following(adjust to fit your partition table)
    title Trinity Rescue Kit
    map (hd0,1)+1 (fd0)
    map --hook
    rootnoverify (fd0)
    chainloader +1

    thanks to romiz for how to chainload syslinux/isolinux from grub4dos

    Thanks, mate!
    I was hoping for something like Hobbyhack's method, but by the love of God I coudn't get it to work,
    IReliom's method in other hand worked pefectly fine and also he did nice work with the submenu
    nsadly now I have to keep TRK files in root of my USB -stick, but that shoudn't be all that big of a deal.
