I'm trying to install routerOS(Mikrotik) from bootable USB drive on my PC.

it boots from USB at first and loads the Linux Kernel.

after detecting the H.D.D it requests me to insert the CD-ROM disk to installing the DRIVERS.

but the drivers are in the USB flash.

i opened the syslinux.cfg and isolinux.cfg files:

default system

label system
kernel linux
append load_ramdisk=1 initrd=initrd.rgz root=/dev/ram0

i'm thinking that the problem is here. it requests to load from CD-ROM.

how can i tell it to load the drivers from USB Flash?

** i've not worked with Linux.

In RouterOS you have 2 method of X86 installs.

  1. CD-ROM ( not USB )
  2. NetInstall

If your BIOS supports net boot and you have a Windows to run NetInstall, try with Mikoritk NetInstall

  • i'v not tried NetInstall. i tried with CD-rom versions 3.3 and 5.2 but both had same error: Borken package. but when installing with USB flash it loads from CD-rom again. I installed this on VMware worked correctly but not working when install on PC. – Sajjad.HS Mar 30 '15 at 18:29
  • I studied about installing with NetInstall. I need's serial Cable and i don't have anyone. I downloaded x86 package from mikrotik website. I don't know why it gives broken package error!!! – Sajjad.HS Mar 30 '15 at 18:46
  • Why you need serial Cable? – gilito Mar 31 '15 at 06:04
