This is how I got my usb pen multi-booting with a lot of help from: bro satman aftermath & jamie-warez

First make sure not to forget to upgade box with multiboot upgrade before trying to boot from usb

Press menu> Plug-in> nlbpanel.plugin> USB Option> Format USB first then Mount USB


Telnet into box & you should see this:

This is where I was having trouble my pen was on sda2 not sdb1 because i had no HDD fitted,depending on what you have installed on your box (usb / usb+hdd / hdd) if you have you will see another line:

/dev/sda2 on /media type ext3 (rw,data=writeback)
