Everytime I use this on beta2 the RPi locks up and becomes on usable:

The method posted here seems to work well, but I don't know how to edit /boot/cmdline.txt in order to boot in beta2. Can someone enlighten me?
thanks!

I'm gettin exactly the same problem. RPi locks up at:
Code:
receiving subvol @_ro uuid=128e8fda-fb55-c944-943b-e2e5587a09dd, stransid=502
Cannot ssh or do anything - totally locked.
Also USB copy in xbian-config doesn't work. Errors with something like
Not found /usr/local/include/modules/xbiancopy
All:
Any good easy to follow tutorials on creating a bootable USB flash drive for Xbian under the WIndows environment. Just don't trust the SD card route, at least once a week i have to reinstall which usually requires a re-flash of the SD card. getting annoying, perhaps the USB key would be more reliable.
The topic can be found here
Usb Installation
A script can be downloaded which does work on Beta 1.1 or wait awhile for Beta 1.2 where it will be incorporated into xbian-config.
The install script instructions can be found
Here
Test it first before committing and also make sure that ALL other HDD drives are removed. One simple slip and a whole drive can be formatted.
shouldnt this be merged or at least closed ??? discussing one thing in more threads lead to ....
Sure merge. "Boot from USB" should be the main title as USB installation is not as intuitive.

Boot from USB is misleading, may get a bunch of people who say they can't boot because they took their SD out.
"USB installation"
Will merge the topics

copying beta2 without keeping the sub-volume structure 1:1 (root/@, home/@, modules/@) will cause issues if /etc/fstab/xbian not updated accordingly - remove mounts which are not relevant.
if you have beta2 installed, just do apt-get update/upgrade and use the xbian-config way.
Code:
comment out the line with "/home" (with a "#" at the start of the line)
change "LABEL=xbian-root-btrfs" to "root=/dev/sda1", remove "subvol=root/@," option from "/".
sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt
change "LABEL=xbian-root-btrfs" to "root=/dev/sda1"
remove "subvol=root/@"
change "mod_scsi.scan=async" to "mod_scsi.scan=sync"
according the need, change number after rootwai
can someone screenshots these exspecially that 1 and the last one ?
"change number after rootwait" (seconds to wait for root fs to appear).
If I do this "if you have beta2 installed, just do apt-get update/upgrade and use the xbian-config way"
Do I not need to do any of the changes that are in the wiki?
@
thedude459: If on Beta 2 ->
Just go to ssh xbian-config - option 6. Select your USB drive and it does it all for you.
All you need to do is edit cmdline.txt and make root=/dev/sdxx reboot and it works!!!!
Awesome. Thank you for the clarification. I will try it out.
