Hi Guys!
I followed this guide about making a USB install key !
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=18643
But after doing this I get an kernel Panic??
export: 25: /dev/sda1: bad variable name
How should this be???
heres my syslinux.cfg :
prompt 1
timeout 0
display boot.msg
default arch
label arch
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.img /dev/sda1
How could I correct this, so that I'm able to boot and install from this USB key??
Thanks!

I dont know the program and how to use it..
But I can see the others in the topic is able to make it work...
I can just see that there's some problem about the syslinux.cfg and how its loading the kernel (or dont?? )
So If you can help me a little bit about qemu??

ok .... load up qemu
do not run it as root
you should be able to boot usb drive just by using
qemu /dev/sda
not sure if your cfg is correct but ....
this way you can test usb drive without rebooting ;-)
