Unable to load BootMii on chipped Wii w/ 4.2u

I have a Wii with a D2CKey in it and it's at 4.2u.
I was able to install the Homebrew Channel from an SD card with the boot.elf.

I'm unable to load BootMii however. I think it has to do with the fact that my Wii also has the soldered hardmod to be able to dump directly to the SD card without the need for the SD Gecko (this was done right when the D2C's came out, before there were alternative methods to the hardmod or gecko for dumping to SD). For those unsure what I am referring to (http://www.sockrocket.com/wii/) it is called the Internal SD to GC Mem Slot mod.
When it tells me it needs to prepare an SD card, it fails to mount the one I have in. I have tried to remove it and use a different SD card as well and it freezes.

Is there a way to load BootMii from a disc, as odd as it that sounds?
Or is there a special way I can do it off a USB flash drive? My Wii will read USB flash drives from the Homebrew Channel. I know you can load certain files from them, wasn't sure about a way to install something like this from it though.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I don't think you can run Bootmii off a disc since it gets installed at boot2 or as an IOS. For best compatibility use a SanDisk SD.

I use SanDisk SD cards.

But the problem is that with the SD to GC mem slot mod, it connects my SD reader to the GC mem card slot... Everything I've seen says you can't have anything connected to the GC mem card (normally, just a GC mem card would go in there)

Wasn't sure if there was a way to do this without me having to disassemble and undo this mod

Thank you

most likely you will have to remove the mod. it's practically useless anyways, since usb loader will rip the games.
