How to install linux on the sd slot with an sdhc?

Is there any way you can install your / on the sdhc on the sd slot and then the boot on the ssd?

Please post the steps...Thanks

 

The AA1 BIOS doesn't see the cards, neither in the left slot nor in the right one, so you cannot boot it directly from there. The bootloader, grub, can only read the kernel (and the initrd) from the SSD (or the HD, or a USB). But, after reading it, and loading it in the RAM, the bootloader passes the control to the kernel. And the kernel can read from, and write to, cards.

It is therefore possible to place the root dir, /, in a SD card. You will have to start the booting proccess from the SSD (or HD or a USB) and then redirect the operation using the root parameter (cheatcode) to specify the device where the root dir, /, is located. In summary: you have to place the kernel file, usually vmlinuz, (and the initrd file) in the SSD (or the HD, or a bootable USB), modify the grub configuration file in the SSD (or HD, or USB), and then boot from the SSD (or HD, or USB) indicating that the root dir, /, is in the SD card.

For an example, see this post http://www.aspireoneuser.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=9106#p58726 explaining how to instal sidux on the left SD slot.
