Subject:   How to use GRUB on LiveCD
Message-ID:  <20070907220721.321830@gmx.net>

Hi all,

i want to use GRUB as bootloader for a LiveCD. I was able to install and run the LiveCD using GRUB, but the 'loader' app does not find the kernel because CDRom is not recognized, instead 'loader' lists floppy as disk0.

Is it possible to force 'loader' via parameters in the menu.lst file to use CDRom to load kernel?

Currently it looks like this:

default=0
timeout=5
color yellow/blue white/black

title FreeNAS
root (cd)
kernel /boot/loader

The ISO is created using the following cmd:

mkisofs -b "boot/grub/stage2_eltorito" -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -c "boot/boot.catalog" -d -r ...

Here are some post that has the same problem (nearly 2 years old) but with no solution:

Volker
