Is it possible to create a bootable CDROM with grub on it? I found in the archives of this list Thierry Laronde's patch for 0.92 CVS was available, but I wasn't sure if that was relevant to what I'm trying to do. Basically, we have some servers we are trying to cluster. All data is stored on an external RAID array. In order for the RAID controllers to work in cluster mode, the controller BIOS must be turned off. Well, with the controller BIOS off, the system BIOS doesn't know anything about the RAID array, and therefore, cannot boot from it. I've tried putting grub on floppy, but this doesn't work because grub seems to get its hard drive info from the system bios as well. So, without knowing what hard drives are available to it, grub can't boot my kernel.
What I want to do is essentially copy my /boot onto a bootable iso image. This way, when the system boots off of the cdrom, it'll be able to grab the kernel right off the CD and boot the system. The way I'm currently booting my system is by using a bootable cd and passing "root=" as an argument. I'm a bit surprised that I haven't found more info on how to build a bootable grub iso image. I currently have grub-0.93+cvs20031021-8 on debian. Thanks for any tips. -- Jiann-Ming Su [EMAIL PROTECTED] 404-712-2603 Development Team Systems Administrator General Libraries Systems Division _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
