would_pay_for_mac_on_x86 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 i want to store a few .iso on the hd but can't figure out how get grub to load them is that possible? i tried memdisk, like: title Ultimate Boot CD kernel (hd0,0)/boot/memdisk initrd (hd0,0)/boot/ubcd.iso this appears to begin to work, says loading, but never finishes... i ran across isoemu, it says that you can boot from grub and use it to lauch isos... is that the best way? i think with that, you have to have your ISOs on ntfs/fat32 http://www.911cd.net/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t8955.html then i see knoppix can do it but that is a hack with the "bootfrom" parameter and doesnt seem to work well http://hacks.oreilly.com/pub/h/2448 then i heard QEMU can do it but i just dont know... it seems that this isnt so obvious a use of grub...
