If you want to boot KoOS directly with grub, you need to do this:
- get and install the syslinux package
- copy /usr/lib/syslinux/memdisk to /boot
- copy your KoOS-image to /boot
- add this lines to your grub.conf:
Code: <asm> label KoOS
root (hd0,0) # edit this to your correct partition, given example is hda1 kernel /boot/memdisk initrd /boot/menuet.img
</asm>
- reboot and enjoy
edit: just tried, it is not necessary to copy the image to /boot, point your config "root"-entry to your FAT or NTFS-partition, where the image resides, and write the kernel-entry with (hd0,0)/boot/memdisk or where ever your linux partition is. BTW, one limitation is in this method: The kernel cannot save its boot settings :(
