OK, so what do you really mean by "grub 1"? You either have
grub-0.97-... or grub2-1.99-... a.k.a. grub2. I thought that by
"grub 1" you meant the former.
The former, aka grub legacy, aka grub never known as grub2.
I should have been more specific.
I suspect that module is the grub1 equivalent of insmod,
but load_video, set and even linux stump me.
Forget about stuff you do not want to bother to check in documentation.
Eventually I did manage to find them.
Sometimes this brain isn't at its best.
Write a boot entry in configuration file of something you are using
and that will be about it. If you are using grub-0.97 then this
will look somewhat of this sort (only adjust _all_ settings to your
circumstances) and it will be in a file to which /etc/grub.conf
is a symlink:
title Anaconda
kernel (hd0,1)/boota/vmlinuz repo=hd:/dev/sda<X>:/<path_to_a_directory_with_an_iso_image>/
initrd (hd0,1)/boota/initrd.img
This approximately what I'd been trying to do.
This is what I'd been using to try to boot F17-alpha:
title Install Fedora17 from iso
root (hd0,2)
find /isolinux17/vmlinuz
kernel /isolinux17/vmlinuz askmethod
find /isolinux17/initrd.img
initrd /isolinux17/initrd.img
It didn't work very well trying to boot a F17 nightly live CD either:
title Install Fedora17-3-28 from iso
root (hd0,2)
find /isolinux17-3-28/vmlinuz0
kernel /isolinux17-3-28/vmlinuz0 askmethod
find /isolinux17-3-28/initrd0.img
initrd /isolinux17-3-28/initrd0.img
In neither case did adding noacpi to the kernel line help.
In both cases, the iso was a file.
I was wondering if it could be done with a live CD iso as a partition.
If you are using some other bootloader then change all of that
accordingly.
