< li > Attach the USB drive</ li >
< li > Boot the blade from the DVD</ li >
< li > At the boot prompt, type: < code > linux26 vga=771</ code ></ li >
< li > Go through the install as normal. Note that the drives are out of order (USB drive is first).</ li >
< li > When asked “Do you want to install the GRUB bootloader to the master boot record?”, say No.</ li >
< li > Enter < em > /dev/sdb</ em > to install to.</ li >
< li > The install will reboot.</ li >
< li > Let the disc eject or, if remote, change the boot order to boot from HD first.</ li >
< li > GRUB will error when trying to boot; dismiss the error message.</ li >
< li > Press “e” to edit the boot commands. Change “(hd1,0)” to “(hd0,0)” and “/dev/sdb1″ to “/dev/sda1″.</ li >
< li > Press “b” to boot.</ li >
< li > Use the “cdrom” access method for apt.</ li >
< li > Go through the install as normal.</ li >
< li > Log in as root.</ li >
< li > Edit /etc/fstab, correcting the drive lettering for any partitions that are messed up.</ li >
< li > Run: < code > mount /boot</ code ></ li >
< li > Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, changing the lines starting with “# kopt=” and “# groot=” to reflect the changes made during boot.</ li >
< li > Run: < code > update-grub</ code ></ li >
< li > If you configured RAID during installation, edit /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf to reflect drive letter changes.</ li >
< li > Mount the USB drive on /mnt.</ li >
< li > Run: < code > apt-get install module-assistant kernel-kbuild-2.6-3 debhelper kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686-smp build-essential</ code >
(the non-SMP image will also work, if you want this off)</ li >
< li > Run: < code > dpkg -i /mnt/bcm5700-source_7.3.5-4_all.deb /mnt/kernel-headers-2.6.8-2_2.6.8-16_i386.deb /mnt/kernel-headers-2.6.8-2-686_2.6.8-16_i386.deb /mnt/kernel-headers-2.6.8-2-686-smp_2.6.8-16_i386.deb</ code ></ li >
< li > Run: < code > cp /mnt/fixup-network.sh /etc/init.d/</ code ></ li >
< li > Run: < code > reboot</ code ></ li >
< li > When the machine reboots, run: < code > module-assistant prepare</ code ></ li >
