Netshroud Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Anyone tried chainloading Grub4DOS/Grub2 from PLoP? Is it even possible? If so, can it be setup automatically to boot straight into Grub via PLoP? (My computer and school computers only support USB1.1 boot :() Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(My computer and school computers only support USB1.1 boot :() Are you wanting to boot PLoP from USB and then reboot the USB from PLoP with USB 2.0 support? I attempted this once without success and then got rid of it. I think the problem was that PLoP didn't recognize my flash drive since it was already plugged in and booted from, making PLoP think it's a HDD. If you loaded the ISO or floppy image into RAM using "map --mem", disconnect your flash drive, and reconnect it it may very well work. And yes, there is a way to customize it here, although I haven't tried any of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netshroud Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 What about chainloading PLoP from Grub, loading the ISO or floppy into memory, then chainloading back into Grub from PLoP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I said. Except I tried that before without removing and reinserting the flash drive while loaded into PLoP and it didn't find a USB device to boot from, which I think is because it saw the flash drive as a HDD. I'll test it and post what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H@L0_F00 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Alright, I tried multiple ways and multiple times but couldn't successfully boot from Grub4DOS to PLoP to Grub4DOS to anything on my menu. I think I'll burn a cd though to see if that works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
