For a lot of reasons, mainly being I'm going to sell it, my cMP3,1 has been lying idle for a bit while I remove bits I need for other things. This included most of the drives, because i'd previously solved the problems around USB booting with this machine, right?
Wrong!
I now have , essentailly, the same box I bought home, with no drives. I cannot for the life of me get it to boot anything at all USB-wise, and now not even an SSD plugged straight into the backplane, which ALWAYS worked last time.
As I type, I've finally managed to do a createinstallmedia command which didn't stop and say, "What's that mean?"
That's has this minute completed, so will now try and see if the machine deigns to acknowledge it...
