I am trying to get an old Lenovo Thinkkpad T60 to work. It doesn't recognise USB as bootable devices. The only thing that has worked so far is Bionicpup 32 bit on a CD rom.
It all works fine, and I am able to install Puppy linux to the sda ssd drive. But when I take out the CD rom and reboot the machine, I get:
wee 0> find --set-root /grldr
wee 15> /grldr
wee 17>
What types of commands work here? What can I do to have Bionicpup just boot from the sda/1 ssd drive?
I just did a full install (not frugal) following this video:
I think the step that I hadn't done that was causing the problem may have been not flagging the sda drive as 'boot'.
I still do wonder what wee commands are.
Did you make the drive able to boot (bootflag set)?
Did you install a bootloader?
Which one?
Perhaps the "wee" commands are from MBR?

When I used Gparted to add 'boot' as a flag to my sda drive, it worked.
wee 0> find --set-root /grldr
wee 15> /grldr
wee 17>
Usually, wee is the first part of Puppy Linux version of Grub4dos Boot loader.
Wee is the first part that starts the boot loader process and looks to load the grldr to run the boot process.
It is a error basically saying it could not find the grldr, because the boot flag was not set, to tell the boot process that the boot files are located on this partition.

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected

I am not familiar with the T60. I assume you know how to select the boot device from the BIOS config files.
If 'no' then read this:

All the best and 'woof'!

Thanks, cobaka. Yes, I know how to use bios, but unlike with my other Thinkpads, this one just doesn't seem to want to boot up anything other than Bionicpup on CD.

You probably can get the T60 to boot from a usb drive by using PLOP.
