Re: Thinkpad x1 carbon gen 6 bios -- bootable iso

Doh...geteltorito (from ports) pulls a valid image from the ISO, and I'm able to write to a USB stick

Apologies for the noise.

Hi all.

I'm having trouble using the bios bootable ISO released for my system.

The downloaded ISO matches sha256/sha1/md5, but when I mount it via vnconfig/mount to look around, the filesystem is empty.  Previous versions of the bios bootable ISO show empty too.

I'm able to perform the same steps on an alpine ISO (vnconfig/mount).

Curious if anybody has experience getting one of these ISOs "working"... to mount locally, and ultimately get written to a USB stick to apply the bios update.  Any tips/tricks from other successful thinkpad bios flashers using these bootable ISOs?

Thanks for your time.
