Hello, I can make a bootable CD using GRUB + El Torito no-emulation mode. It's
almost completely explained in the GRUB manual, section 3.4.
I want to do more, I want to offer the user who boots from the CD Live or from
a hard disk partition, it's a CD Live with XORP.
So I built the following menu.lst file:
default=0
timeout=10
title FreeBSD 6.1
root (hd0,0,a)
kernel /boot/loader
title CD Live XORP 1.3
root (hd1)
kernel /boot/loader
>From GRUB manual, the device syntax is like this:
`(DEVICE[,PART-NUM][,BSD-SUBPART-LETTER])'
`[]' means the parameter is optional. DEVICE should be either `fd'
or `hd' followed by a digit, like `fd0'. Can I set CDROM device?
I have added last line in device.map
$ cat /boot/grub/device.map
(fd0) /dev/fd0
(hd0) /dev/ad0
(hd1) /dev/acd0
Using this file I can boot " FreeBSD 6.1", but not " CD Live XORP 1.3".
However when I try set CDROM on grub:
grub> root (hd1)
Error 21: Selected disk does not exist
So the question is: how can I create a GRUB configuration to boot CD Live XORP
1.3.?
Thanks in advance,
David
