January 25, 200917 yr My computer will not boot in to unRaid using the usb stick. But it will boot if I make the usb stick a MS-DOS boot device. I'm using a Gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3 motherboard and a sandisk cruzer micro usb. I have tried all the different config for the Bios and nothing works. It doesn't go past the "verifying DMI data pool. Help Please?
January 26, 200917 yr Have you tried all of the tips on the USB Flash Drive Preparation wiki page? There are a lot of ideas there, because this is a common problem, different for every combination of motherboard and flash drive.

How do I find the ip address from the cmd prompt? You are part way there. From the command prompt, type: ifconfig eth0 It will show you the IP address. The output will look a lot like this: ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:11:75:fb:7e inet addr:192.168.2.100 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:572278 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:45098 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:310868969 (296.4 MiB) TX bytes:30999907 (29.5 MiB) If you do not see an IP address, the usual cause is that you did not set the volume label on the flash drive to UNRAID. Type: mount at the command line, you should see the flash drive mounted at /boot. mount usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw) /dev/sda1 on /boot type vfat (rw,umask=077,shortname=mixed) Type ls -l /dev/disk/by-label You should see the volume label UNRAID linked to one of your devices. ls -l /dev/disk/by-label total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jan 24 06:19 UNRAID -> ../../sda1 If you do not see the /dev/disk/by-label entry, then unRAID cannot determine which device is your flash drive to properly mount it. If it cannot mount it, the network will not be configured and unRAID will not get an IP address. Joe L.

I also have this "line 19: /var/tmp/network.cfg: No such file or directory". What should I do?

As I said earlier, the usual cause is that you did not set the volume label on the flash drive to UNRAID. Put the flash drive back on your windows PC, right-click on the drive, select "properties" and set the volume label to UNRAID (exactly 6 capital letters) Then "Safely Eject" the drive using the toolbar, and try it in the unRAID server once more.
