An utility to create a BlankOn UEFI bootable USB.
- Get haftian
- Prepare your BlankOn .ISO
- Prepare your USB disk (this will be handled later) as GPT with 1 partition, formatted with FAT32 and mount it to somewhere
- Run haftian:
cd /where/you/put/haftian/
sudo ./haftian /where/is/your.iso.file /where/you/mount/your/usb.disk
- Reboot and try
haftian is in public domain but it contains files from GRUB which are licensed in GPL3.
This is how I prepare my USB disk. Note that # is Linux prompt and (parted) is GNU Parted prompt.
# sudo parted /dev/your/usb/device
(parted) mktable gpt
(parted) mkpart efi fat32 1 -1
(parted) toggle 1 boot
