@wardmundy , I would be interested to see what failed, I have successfully installed Asterisk and FreePBX "the old fashioned way ( from source) " several times with no problems.
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get clean
rpi-update ef7621d91cb58ccc856c3c17ddda28685edd23f3
reboot
cd /root
wget https://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/pool/main/f/firmware-nonfree/firmware-brcm80211_20161130-3+rpt3_all.deb
dpkg -i firmware-brcm80211_20161130-3+rpt3_all.deb
I am trying to build a system on a Raspberry Pi 3B that boots from a USB hard drive using the 04-28-2018 image. I am wondering whether the instructions contained in Ward's post http://nerdvittles.com/?p=21255 under "Running PBX from an External USB Device" need to be updated?
I am able to successfully mount the USB drive. However, when I try to edit /mnt/etc/fstab, /dev/mmcblk0p2 does not exist anywhere in the file.
Similarly, when I try to edit /boot/cmdline.txt, /dev/mmcblk0p2 does not exist anywhere in the file either.
Is it possible to boot this version of Raspian Jessie using USB Boot Mode in the Raspberry Pi 3 described in this post https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/bootmodes/msd.md?
Thanks for your help.
USB only boot (no sd card) works on 3B+. I can confirm (but wasn't using your image).Appear to be system-wide issues booting from a USB drive on the Raspberry Pi 3B+. Stay tuned...

Possibly, I didn't have a 2.5 spindle around to test, only USB Flash and SSD.Thanks, @jerrm. This appears to be a problem with USB drives that rely upon the USB port for power. They don't spin up quickly enough when you apply power to the 3B+ to actually boot. There was a workaround in the past, but that no longer seems to help.
Yeah, I saw later. Should have RTFM.That would be great. The resize routine for external drives actually is covered in the current tutorial.
