byteTemplar Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Topic says pretty much it all! Ive been trying to get BT5-GNOME-32.iso to boot from my Multipass USB key with no luck, so thought to ask some help :) I will give virtual cookie to the first person to post correct GRUB2 (or GRUB4DOS) entry...

r3b00tz Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Not that version, though I do have it running on my XOOM tablet! I don't think an image of the shell on windows cmd line will be exciting but here's a screenshot for the virtual cookie(the last two lines is where I booted in from the bootbt.sh file). I'm still gettin things set up on the tablet so Im gonna play for a bit and then get working with the 32 bit gnome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byteTemplar Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Oh my! This might be the final push for me to get a Tablet :) Reason why I wanna run 32b version from Multiboot, is that not all computers have 64b CPUs, and I wanna be possible to run everything on anything :) Finally got BT5 installed on my trusty eeePC 901, time to start tweaking and testing...

byteTemplar Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) Well, it seems BT5 still needs its iso to be extracted like BT4. Here is my GRUB2 menuentry for the BT5 Gnome 32bit: menuentry "BT5 GNOME 32bit" { linux /casper/vmlinuz boot=casper nopersistent rw gfxpayload=800x600 -- initrd /casper/initrd.gz } Just extract the /casper to the root of your USB stick from ISO and thats it!

Tutorial on http://www.infosecramblings.com/backtrack/backtrack-4-usbpersistent-changesnessus/ for Persistent USB says "This how-to will be updated with specifics for Backtrack 5. As it sits, it does not work with Backtrack 5. If you have a 16GB stick, please try this one." Don't know if this helps or not. You could install it as a USB live install: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/tutorials/usb-live-install/ (that's how I have my bt5 installed) Edited June 23, 2011 by CanadianTaco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorian Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I'm suprised nobody posted this, after figuring it out I realize it's quite simple - Copy .disk, casper and preseed directories to your multipass add this to your menu.lst title BackTrack Text - Default Boot Text Mode kernel /casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/custom.seed boot=casper text splash vga=791-- initrd /casper/initrd.gz works great for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D1g1ta1 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Hope this helps as well. I dont like my / being cluttered so i generally boot from /boot/<distro> . "live-media-path=" is the key :) examples: title Start BackTrack FrameBuffer (1024x768) kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bt5/casper/vmlinuz live-media-path=/boot/bt5/casper file=/cdrom/preseed/custom.seed boot=casper txt splash vga=0x317 initrd (hd0,0)/boot/bt5/casper/initrd.gz title Start BackTrack in Stealth Mode\nStealth mod No Networking Enabled.. kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bt5/casper/vmlinuz live-media-path=/boot/bt5/casper file=/cdrom/preseed/custom.seed boot=casper txt splash staticip vga=0x317 initrd (hd0,0)/boot/bt5/casper/initrds.gz title Start BackTrack in Safe Graphical Mode kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bt5/casper/vmlinuz live-media-path=/boot/bt5/casper file=/cdrom/preseed/custom.seed boot=casper splash xforcevesa vga=0x317 initrd (hd0,0)/boot/bt5/casper/initrd.gz title Start BackTrack noDRM\nNo DRM Drivers kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bt5/casper/vmlinuz live-media-path=/boot/bt5/casper file=/cdrom/preseed/custom.seed boot=casper txt splash nomodeset vga=0x317 initrd (hd0,0)/boot/bt5/casper/initrd.gz title Start BackTrack Debug\nSafeMode kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bt5/casper/vmlinuz live-media-path=/boot/bt5/casper file=/cdrom/preseed/custom.seed boot=casper txt splash vga=0x317 initrd (hd0,0)/boot/bt5/casper/initrd.gz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveSi Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 If you want to boot from BT5 ISO file with persistence from a grub4dos USB drive - checkout Easy2Boot V1! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
