Hi,

i have root fs on external usb drive but sd card is still needed to boot (u-boot etc.)

Steps:

create partition on usb drive
copy root partition from sd card to usb drive with rsync
check UUID of usb parition (blkid) and save it or remember
built new initrd.img (https://github.com/longsleep/build-pine64-image) or download modified initrd.img from this post http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?t...89#pid9289 and overwrite existing one
set param root in uEnv.txt (more info: https://github.com/longsleep/build-pine64-image/pull/17)
thats all
