Booting from GRUB: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 12:42, 2 August 2008

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
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.
add this lines to your grub.conf:

Code:

label KoOS
  root (hd0,0)  # edit this to your correct partition, given example is hda1
  kernel /boot/memdisk
  initrd /boot/kolibri.img

BTW, there is one limitation in this method: The kernel cannot save its boot settings :(
