I'm trying to install routerOS(Mikrotik) from bootable USB drive on my PC. It boots from USB at first and loads the Linux Kernel. Moncrief Furnace Manuals. After detecting the H.D.D it requests me to insert the CD-ROM disk to installing the DRIVERS.
USB Memstick Installer. A disk image which can be written to a USB memory stick (memstick) and booted on the target hardware for installation. CD Image (ISO) Installer. To install from optical media or for use with IPMI or hypervisors which can boot from ISO images. Select a Console for USB Memstick Installer images: VGA. We will show how to install RouterOS x86 in a USB stick by Netinstall utility. Visit Mikrotik site to view Supported Hardware list. Installation To install the RouterOS on the USB you can use CD-Install or Netinstall from the latest versions of the RouterOS (starting form v3.0rc5). Plug the USB flash drive in your computer and make sure there is enough free space on it. Locate the Valve folder on the hard drive (C: Program File Steam). Make sure that any games you want to play are installed on your computer and in the Steam folder. Copy the entire Steam folder onto the USB flash drive.

To install the RouterOS on the USB you can use CD-Install or Netinstall from the latest versions of the RouterOS (starting form v3.0rc5). Also it is possible to attach that USB drive to a Windows computer and copy the RouterOS installation files using Netinstall to the USB drive and when booting this USB drive it would install the RouterOS on it.
But the drivers are in the USB flash. I opened the syslinux.cfg and isolinux.cfg files: default system label system kernel linux append load_ramdisk=1 initrd=initrd.rgz root=/dev/ram0 i'm thinking that the problem is here. It requests to load from CD-ROM. How can i tell it to load the drivers from USB Flash?

Yes, but: It would be extremely neat and handy to be able to insert a USB stick 'with the equivalent of the.ISO' Boot from USB, run the installer which then puts ROS on the default (main) partition (compact flash or DOM) I know this is really only an issue for x86-users where netinstall might not be an option. YVMV Regards I understand and we'll see how hard it is to make, but as I said - you can simply place the soon-to-be-router HDD in a windows machine, Netnstall it, move it back to it's own PC and boot to install. I understand that it's not so quick as the suggested way, but at least it's a working way. Ya I would agree don't put it high on the list. MLPPP is a much more needed function. I use USB sticks to install windows, and it works quite well.
And yes, I know you 'burn' the ISO, but the question is why can't you put a ISO on a Flash drive. I can burn a CD ISO on a DVD, so whats the difference? Why would it not see other controllers during an installation? Because 'burning an iso' is quite different than copying an iso (to a flash drive). Iso is just a container.
You would have to get a different kind of image (not an ISO) and then 'dd' it to the drive. We don't provide such images at the moment. We did do it some time ago. FATAL ERROR: no CD-ROM found Press ENTER to reboot[/b] It seems that it is looking for a CD-ROM device only? I get the same message if I extract the ISO contents to the FAT32 USB flash drive. You have to emulate the CD to get past this detection. The zalman virtual image box emulates an usb mass storage device (usb CDROM) which the the kernel enumerates during the boot process.
This is something that most USB gear does: like the 3G-sticks which have the 'driver' diskette embedded, or some promotion USB drives which are detected as a HDD *and* a CDrom. Generally booting iso from usb is easy, i did this several times with other 'OS' (if you consider windows xp as an OS).
If you have grub or grub4dos you can create a memdisk, which holds the entire contents of the iso file, promote it to be a drive, and boot off from it. But then it's just an int13h device (hard disk). You can however tweak linux kernel to look for iso-s and mount them while booting: it however requires this feature to be compiled in the kernel.
But you can give it a try and modify the kernel boot parameters in the 6.6 ISO file.

Summary
Sub-menu:/system routerboard usb
Package:routerboard (v5) / system (v6)
Not all of the RouterBoards with USB ports have the same supported features. This article list all supported USB features by each RouterBoard.
USB power reset
USB power reset turns off USB port power for specified time. It is useful when 3G/LTE modem needs to be restarted but there is no direct access to it (tower installation).
Available properties:
- duration (time; Default: '3s') - Time interval how long power is turned off.
For example, turn off USB port power for 10 seconds:
RouterBoards with multiple USB buses also require bus specified in order to do USB power reset.
Available properties:
- duration (time; Default: '3s') - Time interval how long power is turned off.
- bus (integer; Default: 1) - USB bus where power reset is applied.
Note:RB953GS: The miniPCIe slot closer to Ethernet ports on the RB953GS board is the one which is shared with USB port and has configurable USB port type, its USB bus number is 1. Depending on USB port type the power reset is done on USB port or miniPCIe slot. The other miniPCIe slot closer to SFP slots has independent bus - 2.
Note:RB922UAG: The USB port has independent bus - 1. The miniPCIe slot has independent bus - 2.
Note:CCR1072-1G-8S+: The micro USB port has independent bus - 0. The USB Type-A port has independent bus - 1.

USB port mode
RB2011 series, CRS series and mAP have micro USB port which operates in host mode when USB device is attached through USB OTG cable. Some vendor cables require forced host mode to recognize connected device.
Available properties:
- usb-mode (automatic | force-host; Default: 'automatic') - Defines USB port mode.
Note: In RouterOS v5 this setting was called 'mode'.

Warning: On RB2011 and CRS series boards USB devices may not work first time they are plugged in. In such cases power cycle (not reboot) is required.
USB port type
RB912UAG and RB953GS have partially shared USB port and miniPCIe slot. Due to hardware restrictions it is possible to use only one at the time for 3G/LTE modem.
Available properties:
- type (USB-type-A | mini-PCIe; Default: 'USB-type-A') - Type of enabled port.
Note:RB953GS: The miniPCIe slot closer to Ethernet ports on the RB953GS board is the one which is shared with USB port and has configurable USB port type, its USB bus number is 1. Depending on USB port type the power reset is done on USB port or miniPCIe slot. The other miniPCIe slot closer to SFP slots has independent bus - 2.
