Excuse me if I explain very bad in English, sorry. My problem is how can
I boot debian from usb stick

I have flashed router with:
openwrt-brcm47xx-squashfs-for_2nd_stage_process.trx

In http://155.158.112.226/lenny_mipsel/README.txt:

- fstab is configured to use swap on /dev/sda1 and "/" partition on /dev/sda2
