GRUB1 (GRUB legacy)
If you want to boot KolibriOS with GRUB, you need to do this:
- Install Syslinux (if not installed).
- Copy /usr/lib/syslinux/memdisk to /boot (or take it from distro).
- Point your config "root"-entry to the partition, where the image resides, and write the kernel-entry with (hd0,0)/boot/memdisk or where ever your linux partition is.
- Add these lines to your grub.conf:
label KoOS root (hd0,0) # edit this to your correct partition, given example is hda1 kernel /boot/memdisk initrd /boot/kolibri.img
GRUB2
Add these lines to one of the files in /etc/grub (grub.d):
menuentry "KolibriOS" {
set root='(hd0,5)' # edit this to your correct partition, given example is sda5
linux16 /memdisk
initrd16 /kolibri.img
}
Then run "sudo update-grub".
Limitations
- The kernel cannot save boot settings.
