AFAIK, you can easily boot a floppy image (which you might produce with mtools). You need memdisk (from the SYSLINUX project) and an image of a floppy and the following entry in your menu.lst: kernel /boot/grub/memdisk initrd /image.dsk (you can find memdisk here: http://www.lrz-muenchen.de/~bernhard/grub-chain-cd.html if you do not prefer to download the current version from Peter Anvin site: http://syslinux.zytor.com/memdisk.php image.dsk should be a bootable disk image. regards -- Bernhard Treutwein Bernhard Treutwein(at)verwaltung uni-muenchen de _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list Bug-grub@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
