BT4 Pre Final on a SD Card.

[twoR_x64]

Hello !

I just decided to install BT 4, because i have read that BT 4 supports b43 Driver for the Broadcom Chipsets and so i dont need to update my Kernel of my BT3. My question is, if it is possible to install BT4 with the ability to keep changes on a SD (SDHC) Card. I just bought today a 4GB SD Card.
I found some tutorials wich only works with the BT4 Beta version, ant not the BT4. I also tried to use "Installer.sh" to try if it can install on the SD Card but it only shows me harddisks and not SD Cards.

Does anyone one a good tutorial how i can install BT4 with changes on a SD Card ??

It's kinda odd it's not showing you the sd card. I have it installed on a 4Gb sd card on my eeePc. Is your sd card bootable for your laptop?

[twoR_x64]

Yes my SD Card is bootable. I Just tried it.

I dont make the installation on my laptop because it has no CD Rom drive.
I just bought a Multi Card Reader and the SD Card to make this on my Desktop PC.

At first BT didnt recognized the mutli card reader with the SD card but i fix that problem with this command:

echo 8 > /sys/module/scsi_mod/parameters/max_luns

When i typed this and replugged my Mutli Card Reader it appears in Konquerer and i can put and read files with it.

Do i have to make a special format to the SD Card before i gonna use install.sh or can i format via install.sh ??

Woooot ! My first success feelings in the last days.

i just followed this tutorial:
Backtrack 4 – USB/Persistent Changes/Nessus | Infosec Ramblings

and tried to boot it. At the first boot, it stucked at the Line: PenetratioN Testing and Audity....

I tried again and now it is running... even the sound is working and my WLAN is working too !

I will try now to look if the system keep files, after a reboot.

EDIT:

IT DOESNT WORK ... the files are deleted after reboot. I just didnt understand the part of the tutorial with the Persistent Changes... my english is not so good.

I can help you with this.... did you partition it correctly? Boot it & check partition size & type.

Hey man !

The boot is working fine now....

but the WLAN makes problems... with BT4 now the WLAN LED turns on and i can switch it on and off with a button on the front of the laptop.
My WLAN is Broadcom BCM4312 (rev 01) (Information taken from: lspci)
I also ran: modprobe b43 but when i type airmon-ng it shows me this:

Interface Chipset Driver
eth1 Unknown wl

instead of wl it shoulb be b43 driver or ? how do i set the b43 driver ?

[kazalku]

May be, yes... may be this can help....

kazalku

Thank you.

Maybe u can explain me how do i have format (prepare) my SD Card to install BT4 on it with install.sh.

[kazalku]

You need at least 8gb card to use the install.sh, otherwise you'll get error msg.
I installed this on my 4gb SD card (without using install.sh).. do you want me to guide you with this or you like to buy another 8gb to use the install.sh?

Mine's on a 4Gb card too, sorta. I did a custom partition on my eee. Root is on the internal 4Gb "drive" while every thing else is on the sd card. There is no swap! Swap on flash is bad.
