I have identified the = problem.

My goal is to run Alpine without any disks.=C2=A0 (I had assumed this would=
be "diskless mode".)=C2=A0 I want to boot from a USB stick, and t= hen be
able to remove the USB stick after bootup has completed.

I had assumed that the Alpine installation .iso would run in diskless
mode.=C2=A0 Consequently, after boot, I did the following:

umount /.modloop
umount /dev/sdb

After the above two umount commands, attempts to mount a vfat
filesystem result in the "Invalid argument" error.

The Alpine documentation discusses "diskless mode" here:

https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wik= i/Alpine_setup_scripts#diskless_mode

However, it appears that even after you run setup-alpine and select
disk=3Dnone, the following are still true:

1) /.modloop is mounted.
2) The installation media (which backs /.modloop) is still required.

Are there any guides or tutorials that explain how to configure Alpine
so that all disks can be removed after boot?

Thank you,

Parke
