## USB mass storage boot
This is only available in the BETA release and requires updated (not yet released) firmware via rpi-update. If you aren't already familiar with how to use a USB drive for the root filesystem then you probably want to wait until this feature is in the default Raspbian image.
This is only available in the BETA release and requires updated (not yet released) firmware via [rpi-update](../../raspbian/applications/rpi-update.md).

There's no support for migrating a SD card image to a USB drive. It's possible but the process can potentially be quite involved and varies according to your original setup.

### Create a bootable USB drive
* Use the [Raspberry Pi Imager](https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/) to flash Raspbian to a USB mass storage device. Other distros have not been tested and may require updates (e.g. u-boot). One reason for having a public beta is to help get USB MSD boot support into other distros.
* Download the updated firmware files `*.elf *.dat` from the `msd-boot` branch of the [Raspberry Pi Firmware](https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware) Github repo.
* Alternatively use `rpi-update branch=msd-boot` to update the firmware on a Raspbian SD card install and copy the files from there.
* Copy these updates to the boot partition on the USB device. From now on `rpi-update branch=msd-boot` can be used from within Raspbian on the USB boot device.
* Download the updated firmware files `*.elf *.dat` from the `master` branch of the [Raspberry Pi Firmware](https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware) Github repo.
* Alternatively use `sudo rpi-update` to update the firmware on a Raspbian SD card install and copy the files from there.
* Copy these updates to the boot partition on the USB device. From now on `sudo rpi-update` can be used from within Raspbian on the USB boot device.
* A Linux kernel update is not required. Raspbian has been tested using the 4.19 and 5.4 (32 and 64 bit) kernel.
