The sd card will say “waiting for root on /dev/sda2”, a second or 2 later, OSMC is booting from the external drive. (8) insert sd card into the pi, connect the external drive through the powered usb hub, and power everything up. If you have more drives connected, then it may be /dev/sdb2 or /dev/sdc2, etc… Mine’s /dev/sdc2. (7) open the cmdline.txt in the /boot partition on the sd card, and change the /dev/mmcblk0p2 to /dev/sda2. (6) resize the storage partition to use up all the space on the drive… I used gparted… not sure the commands using the terminal. (5) write that image to your external disk (4) make an image of the disk… I use “gnome-disk-utility” in Ubuntu… you can use dd instead if you want… sudo dd if=/dev/(whatever your disk is) of=/(whateveryounameyourimage).img (2) boot the sd disk in the pi, and go through the initial setup steps (1) write the initial image to an sd disk Not really necessary just for osmc/kodi, but if you dual-boot and have Raspbian installed, it surely helps if doing any native compiling on the pi. I even add an 8gb usb stick as a swap drive, and add it to /etc/fstab. I use the sd card just as a bootdisk, running the actual os off of a usb ssd drive… connected through a powered usb hub.
