Hi Alexander,

Thanks for your suggestion!

I tried using dd to boot Genode on USB, by using virtualbox.iso in the build-nova folder as per your suggestion:

 sudo dd if=virtualbox.iso of=/dev/sdb

There was some progress, but it stopped at a startup screen:

NOVA Microhypervisor v7-9916e62 (x86_64): Jul 10 2015 [gcc 4.9.2]

[6] CORE :0 :2 :1 6:1a :5 :1 [11] Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU    960 @3.20 GHz

I waited for there seemed to be no further progress. I tried other solutions suggested by searches online, such as using UNetBootin on Ubuntu, but was directed to a grub interface, saying that the kernel image was corrupt. I also tried burning it on a DVD instead.

Am I doing something by mistake, like using the wrong commands?

The iso image of the VM (test.iso for virtualbox.run) is part of the
generated Genode iso image in your build directory
(<build_dir>/var/run/virtualbox.iso). Just copy the Genode iso to your
usb stick by using dd.

Cheers,

Alex.
