To create a bootable drive containing the solution image:

  1. Connect the drive from which you plan to run the solution image on target devices.
  2. Find the block device corresponding to the connected drive, for example, by using the following command:

    fdisk -l

  3. If required, create a new drive partition on which the solution image will be deployed by using the fdisk tool, for example.
  4. If there is no file system on the partition, create one by using the mkfs tool, for example.

    You can use any file system that is supported by the GRUB 2 bootloader.

  5. Mount the drive.

    mkdir /mnt/kos_device && mount /dev/sdXY /mnt/kos_device

    Here, /mnt/kos_device is the mount point, /dev/sdXY is the block device name, X is the letter corresponding to the connected drive, and Y is the partition number.

  6. Install the GRUB 2 operating system bootloader on the drive.

    To install GRUB 2, run the following command:

    grub-install --force --removable \
    --boot-directory=/mnt/kos_device/boot /dev/sdX

    Here, /mnt/kos_device is the mount point, /dev/sdX is the block device name, and X is the letter corresponding to the connected drive.

  7. Copy the solution image to the root directory of the mounted drive.
  8. In the /mnt/kos_device/boot/grub/grub.cfg file, add the menuentry section that points to the solution image.

    menuentry "KasperskyOS" {

    multiboot /my_kasperskyos.img

    boot

    }

  9. Unmount the drive.

    umount /mnt/kos_device

    Here, /mnt/kos_device is the mount point.

After performing these actions, you can start KasperskyOS from this drive.
