Re: Knoppix34.iso boot from a single NTFS partition

Yes grub can now be loaded from a NTFS partition and do not need to have it's stage1 in the master boot record of the disk !
I am trying now to boot knoppix entirely out of a single NTFS partition without CD, floppy nor any change in the disk mbr... I am looking for the minimum amount of changes to get a very easy and safe knoppix boot. Grub does a great job so far to load the kernel and the ramdisk from the NTFS partition but knoppix hangs when the linuxrc is looking for the loopback file system what ever it is included within the iso file or not. I have added the ntfs.o within the miniroot.gz and modified the linuxrc to have a chance to mount the ntfs. This is where I am right now and don't know how to move forward. Please advise. Thanks, Gilles
Gilles,
Would you mind going into a little more detail on what you did? I'm thinking that maybe you can help me! I'm very interested, but a bit confused. If you or other posters get a chance, I posted a question of my own here http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtop...?p=53064#53064 , and I could sure use whatever help I can get on booting a "fromhd" poor man's using a USB thumbdrive. Booting from CD is wicked slick, but I sure would like to do the USB thing. OTOH, with what you're doing, sounds like I wouldn't even need it (of course, I'm still very reluctant to mess with Windows bootloader)
Eco2Geek, if you're still peeking in, please stop by and weigh in on this also (along with anyone else willing to help).
