rpi 3B+ usb boot

I see in the description USB mass-storage booting is suported. Does that mean I can partition a thumb drive and put the image on the first partition. Thanks

That would be an option, although I'm not sure it will make it automatically bootable.

You could also have the LibreELEC USB/SD Creator install the image on the external USB device directly.

The default boot device for a RPi is /dev/mmcblkXXX

For USB it apparently is /dev/sdaX

Replace 'X' with the correct device number.

Mind you, LibreELEC always works with 2 partitions (system and storage), not just one single partition.
