Details

Describe the solution you'd like:

We should document how you can use a USB SSD instead of using an SD card with your RPi.

Anything else you would like to add:

Things to document:

  • Update bootloader to an USB boot supported version
  • Making sure the boot config is correct to support booting from USB
  • Making sure the OS configuration is correct regarding boot devices etc...
  • Possible issues and fixes, see below

Additional Information:

An issue I encountered while doing this on my Arch ARM setup was an issue with the kernel not playing nicely with the uas kernel module. I solved this by forcing usb-storage to be used.
