I'm taking the liberty of re-posting this query,
as there seemed some problems with the previous posting,
hopefully now resolved:
Has anyone actually succeeded in booting Fedora-12
from the DVD ISO file on the hard disk,
by adding a stanza to grub.conf ?
I carried out the following commands:
-----------------------------
[tim@alfred ~]$ sudo mkdir /mnt/Fedora
[tim@alfred ~]$ sudo mount -o loop Fedora-12-i386-DVD.iso /mnt/Fedora/
[tim@alfred ~]$ ls /mnt/Fedora/isolinux/
boot.cat boot.msg grub.conf initrd.img isolinux.bin
isolinux.cfg splash.jpg TRANS.TBL vesamenu.c32 vmlinuz
[tim@alfred ~]$ ls /mnt/Fedora/images/
efiboot.img efidisk.img install.img pxeboot README TRANS.TBL
[tim@alfred ~]$ mkdir images
[tim@alfred ~]$ cp -a /mnt/Fedora/images/install.img images/
[tim@alfred ~]$ sudo mkdir /boot/Fedora-12
[tim@alfred ~]$ sudo cp -a /mnt/Fedora/isolinux/* /boot/Fedora-12/
-----------------------------
This is the entry I have added to /etc/grub.conf :
-----------------------------
title Upgrade to Fedora-12
root (hd0,1)
kernel /Fedora-12/vmlinuz ro
initrd /Fedora-12/initrd.img
-----------------------------
Now when I boot into this, all goes well
until I try to install from Fedora-12*.iso when I the error
"Device /dev/sda6 does not appear to contain
an installation image".
Am I doing something wrong?
