Copying to msata hdd
So I have installed my Msata SSD and copied over other distros to the msata ssd
it appears xbian uses a different uboot setup
using boot.scr and boot.scr.txt than other distros

once dumping a copy of mmcblk0p2 to /dev/sda1
how do i setup xbian to boot from my copy as it differs greatly from other solidrun distros and differs from raspberry pi

if i edit boot.scr.txt to use /dev/sda1 as root drive i see no impact on boot selected drive

if i edit boot.scr it breaks boot completely

//edit for those who want to know
Code:
mkdir /media/temp
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/temp
cd /media/temp
nano boot.scr.txt

locate the line that defines /dev/mmcblk0p2 as boot and change it to your /dev/sd*** partition
ctrl+x to close
y then enter to save

then

Code:
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T script -C none -n "U-Boot commands" -d boot.scr.txt boot.scr

that should rewrite your boot.scr to be able to let uboot now boot with /dev/sd** as your main partition therefore completing a solidstate msata drive install
