Hi,

My wl-500gx was freshly installed with rc3. The instructions from USB-storage HowTo failed to make it boot from an external USB Flash disk.  "df -h" showed that USB partition was not even mounted.

root@OpenWrt:/# df -h
Filesystem                Size      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root                 3.2M      2.5M    708.0k  78% /
none                     14.9M     20.0k     14.9M   0% /tmp

However, If I manually ran the new /sbin/init script, the USB partition could be mounted with no problem.
root@OpenWrt:/# df -h
Filesystem                Size      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root                 3.2M      2.5M    708.0k  78% /jffs
none                     14.9M     20.0k     14.9M   0% /jffs/tmp
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1    60.5M      9.0M     48.4M  16% /
none                     14.9M         0     14.9M   0% /tmp

is it because the new init scipt was not run during bootup? How can it be fixed?

Many Thanks.
David
