1. Place the usb-boot script in /home/pi and make it executable (chmod +x usb-
boot).

2. Ensure that the USB device is NOT mounted anywhere.

3. Run usb-boot (sudo ./usb-boot).

4. Answer 'No' to 'Use SD card to boot the USB device?'

5. Then answer 'Select the USB mass storage device to boot'

6. Answer 'Yes' to ''Replicate BOOT/ROOT contents from /dev/mmcblk0 to /dev/sdX?''

7. Then answer 'Select the partition table type to use (MBR = 2TB Maximum)'

When usb-boot completes, you should be able to shutdown, remove the SD card, and
boot the USB device.
