Multiboot USB Kali Installation CD-ROM Mount Error

6,377

I was having the same problem with YUMI, but I managed to get it to work really easy. I read a post using a different USB installer that didn't support multi-boot, and modified it just a little to bind to the directory of the Kali boot folder and it worked.

It's very simple:

mkdir /media/usb
mount -t vfat /dev/sba1 /media/usb
mount --bind /media/usb/multiboot/kali-linux-2016.2-amd64 /cdrom

and that's it.

    I have installed 6 OS in my USB drive with YUMI.
    I boot from USB, can run Kali Linux Live, but can't install.
    I'm getting Can't mount and detect CD-ROM drives. error.

    Unplug & plugging USB gives error, files not valid; because Kali files are in /multiboot/kali-linux-2016.2-amd64 folder

    I tried;

    mkdir /media/usb
    mount /dev/sba1 /media/usb
    mount --bind /media/usb/multiboot/kali-linux-2016.2-amd64 /cdrom
    mount --bind /media/usb/multiboot/kali-linux-2016.2-amd64 /dev/cdrom
    

    but still getting Can't mount and detect CD-ROM drives.

    Thanks!
