Hi there,
I have done this a while ago. The usb stick should be partitioned as sdb1,sdb2,etc.
The multiboot option depends on which image you are using (key1=sda1,key2=sdb1, etc.). I personaly have pgi in flash, an external usb hdd, a usb stick with swf, aaf, pkt, barracuda, both connected to a usb hub with external power suply.
Then after you have connected everything and turned the box on, through telnet do a fdisk /dev/sda and sdb. then check if the box has swapped the names of sda and sdb with each other (in my case it had changed the stick to sda and usb hdd to sdb).
This was solved by booting to SWF (enigma2) through PGI multiboot option, installing it, then changing the boot option through SWF MENU/PLUGINS/MULTIBOOT (ie renaming of different boot options, assigning multiboot images to particular keys and so on).
And remember, that the multiboot keys on your remote should be hold pressed longer than 5 seconds (10-12 secs).
Good luck

I tried it . when I format and install E2 on usb stick , there is not any problem and I can reboot the receiver . but as I press 2 key to multiboot from stb1 , nothing happens and I force to disconnect the cord. after that the flash image recognizes usb stick instead of HDD.
Enigma boot from HDD without usb hub
I have a problem with enigma 2 boot from hdd. I connected the hdd directly to the reciever.
here is my devices :
Cuberevo 250 hd
HDD : Buffallo just store desktop 3.5" 1 TB
Drives : SDA1 (1 GB) , sda2 (850 GB) sda3 (100 GB)
I can easily install enigma 2 on sda3 but when I want to boot into engima it will not boot by pressing 3 button. It boots just via this way :
1- turning on and holding 3 ( nothing will happen and lcd just shows : enigma)
2- after waiting about 1 minutes I should reset the device by holding the power and OK on receiver.
I tried using usb plus to edit the boot option and I also updated the latest version of UBOOT but still I can not boot normally to enigma 2.
I appreciate it if some one could help me.

Hi!!
Started E2 via, USB, or flash. Fiind a bootplus plugin, editing;
1. key nr. (ex.0-9)
2. image type (E2 - DGS)
3. device (Usb-hdd. ...)
4. type partition (sda <-> sdb <-> sdc)
5. partition (1-9)
6. no modific
7. no modific
........
Ok. for example.
1. = 9
2. = E2
3. = hdd <-> SATA
4. = sdb
5. = 3
6. orig
7. orig
8. orig
9. orig
Success! Excuse me , I do not speak English! Only in Hungarish:thum:.

If I were you ,I start using the usb-stick again.That leaves your HDD as a storage device for recorded movies and more.
For simple reasons,try to flash your receiver with the latest DGS Sifteam.Flash it with your usb-hub attachted.
Because of the Panel included with this software, you can format the usb-stick in 4 partitions and also install a multiboot from Spippolo.With a script on the Panel you can read what is going, on and what you have installed in usb.(leave the tar file in partition)
A tip, for your HDD.Maybe you can try transmissions for some bittorrents download.

I tried using usb hub , but I my device could not recognize hdd and usb simultaneously .
Regarding the HDD I tried sifteam scripts . But I can not enter to the enigma unless hard resting.
Shall I change my interface to SATA . My HDD is connected by USB.
Parnam Ideally you really need to put an internal SATA hard disk of the correct variety into the box (but you can't do this with your model!) and then solely use a USB stick for the multibooting of images as was suggested. Using a usb hard disk and usb stick together is not recommended, so I would forget about USB sticks and partition your 1TB Buffalo drive into several partitions of sensible sizes ie one large and 4 small 990G,1G,1G,1G,1G and use the first partition (SDB1)for recording and the others (SDB2-5) for multibooting images.
