Create SSD Documentation needs updating

Post by Hackencrash »

From the piBeacon: 2 - creating the SSD thread here: viewtopic.php?f=187&t=15482

1. download SSD image posted in the iBeacon Download thread

There is no iBeacon Download thread. Please can you post the drobvox link actually on this page as it was not intuitive trying to find this link.

Further down, the command: sudo newfs_msdos -F 16 /dev/diskX

This fails for a 16GB or higher SSD's. Consider changing to FAT32 with command: sudo newfs_msdos -F 32 /dev/diskX

Also, once I created the image, I could not SSH using the default "raspberry" password. I had to connect a keyboard and screen up locally and change the password to something known and then SSH worked. I don't know if you changed the default password? Your instructions just say Enter password :D

Also, this rPi image looks like this is of Buster and not Bullseye and this has moved from stable to oldstable and sudo apt-get update comes up with errors unless you use the --allow-releaseinfo-change switch..
