I have read again the options and am still a little confused.... To make copy on usb (for boot from sd/run from usb) do I need to now add file: at the start of destination - I am guessing not, but want to be sure.

Hmmm..... Maybe I am having a bad day, but after successful copy to sda5 I wanted to see if it was all there. So cd /dev/sda5 had nothing and under /media/ there is also nothing showing..... ??? Am I going mad?

If this was my first time trying to set this up, I would think I was doing something bad. But this pi and another 2 all worked this way and I am doing nothing strange here. I even tried the root=UUID=(friendly characters here)...way and still it doesn't work.
When it starts up, there is activity on the green led on the pi and for a moment the usb stick lights up to show it is working. But then it all just seems to stop.
Does this look OK to you?
If so I'll get a monitor and attach to do what you suggested above.
