899 5 How to boot ISO files with GRUB how to boot iso files with grub 2010-11-06 15:24:43 2010-11-06 15:45:00 Hello! I was looking through internet for how to boot ISO files from a boot loader, and I'd like that boot loader was GRUB. But I saw in some forums that GRUB doesn't do that directly, unless by extracting the contents and/or copying the file to an empty partition. However, I found that [http://diddy.boot-land.net/grub4dos/files/map.htm#hd32 Grub4DOS boots some ISO files] (and it works on DOS, Windows and Linux, not only the named DOS), and [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1549847 Grub2 can do it also]. Here an example of {{{menu.lst}}} Grub4DOS config file to boot an ISO image: {{{ title Puppy Linux 5.1.1 (Lucid Puppy) find --set-root /linux/puppy.iso map /linux/puppy.iso (0xff) || map --mem /linux/puppy.iso (0xff) map --hook chainloader (0xff) }}} Here an example of {{{grub.cfg}}} Grub2 config file to boot an ISO image: {{{ menuentry "Ubuntu 10.04" { set isofile="/boot/iso/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso" loopback loop (hd0,1)$isofile linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=$isofile noprompt noeject initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz } }}} References: - [http://diddy.boot-land.net/grub4dos/Grub4dos.htm Grub4DOS Guide] - [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 Grub 2 Guide] Hope you enjoy! ;-) 1 0 0 0 0 idioma inglês 1 categ artigos 1
