Am trying to build iso using wiki guide (alpine-rescue) system is up too date but usb refuses too boot (dropped too reduced shell)

Looking at iso contents /sbin/init is missing (or at least link is), my system is linked too /bin/busybox. Have not touched configs or Makefile in any way so am confused as to why it does not work.

Can give more information as required...

You'll find the init script here /usr/share/mkinitfs/initramfs-init on a alpine linux install

Try pointing to Makefile to it explicitly, by replacing

$(INITFS): $(INITFS_DIRSTAMP) $(MODLOOP_DIRSTAMP
@mkinitfs -F "$(INITFS_FEATURES)" -t $(INITFS_TMP)

with

$(INITFS): $(INITFS_DIRSTAMP) $(MODLOOP_DIRSTAMP)
@mkinitfs -i /usr/share/mkinitfs/initramfs-init -F "$(INITFS_FEATURES)" -t $(INITFS_TMP)

mrgree,

Where you ever able to build a custom ISO? I am trying as well but keep getting "Mounting boot media failed". I've have already added "alpine_dev=usbdisk:vfat" to the syslinux.cfg file, but still same results.

Cheers,
