Hi there!
I'm trying to make an option in my grub to be able to load any (well, not any, exactly) .iso live distro. For now, I have an Arch Linux iso which uses El Torito bootloader and I see no posiibility to just loop it and do linux->initrd.
All intelligence I could gather is that I may make use of grub4dos which can chainload the ElTorito bootloader while grub isn't able to do so. So, as I understood, I have to something like:
1) Make an option in my grub.cfg to boot grub4dos (as it kinda has the linux kernel format) as a kernel, and then
2) I would be able to chainload the ElTorito iso. Right?
I have grub of 2.00 version. It isn't (grub2) 2.00 which I also have in my /usr/sbin, it's just (grub) 2.00. Isn't there any simplier way to chainload from it to iso with ElTorito bootloader?
PS I couldn't get into how to just load Arch kernel from iso without chainloading into it. There isn't any familiar files, just vmlinuz in one folder and no initrd.
