Hey folks
I've been making my own multipass key over the last few days and have found alot of the posts on this forum very helpful.
I've used grub4dos in the past, but after finding out you can use iso emulation with grub2 I jumped for that.
So far on my key I've got all the following up and running;
clonezilla live
konboot
memtest86+
Ophcrack Vista
Ophcrack XP
Parted Magic
SpinRite6
Tinycore
I'm trying to get the pentoo live cd working but keep getting an error:
error: unknown command `'
here is my menu entry, I've inspected the iso and the parameters / filelocations look right,
and tried feeding various combinations of findiso/iso_filename but don't think thats the problem. any tips?
menuentry "Pentoo" {
set isofile="/boot/pentoo-i686-2009.0.iso"
loopback loop $isofile
linux (loop)/isolinux/pentoo root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc aufs max_loop=256 dokeymap cdroot looptype=squashfs loop=/image.squashfs video=uvesafb:mtrr:3,ywrap,1024x768-16 usbcore.autosuspend=1 console=tty0
initrd (loop)/isolinux/pentoo.igz
}
I also have an entry for UBCD but I get an error, not sure what to do here..
error: You need to load the kernel first
menuentry "Ultimate Boot CD" {
loopback loop /boot/ubcd411.iso
linux (loop)/boot/baslinux
initrd (loop)/boot/baslinux.gz
}
other isos I'd like to attempt to get working:
HBCD (I don't think its possible because you can't chainload iso's)
FreeNAS livecd (I don't really understand the boot structure here, probably cause its BSD)
also does anyone know of any projects underway of making grub2 installable from windows?
I assume this won't be hard, but probably won't happen more until grub2 is stable
Could I just use dd on my current grub2 usb, and then make a .img you could load to USBs from within windows?
