Hello,
I try to boot an operating system which is on a CD-ROM.
Notes that I can boot from CD without GRUB (by configuring well the BIOS),
but It is not safe and boring. I prefered to have a menu entry (protected by
a password if necessary) in GRUB for booting a system on a CD.
I use yet GRUB for launching many operating systems based on GNU/Linux
(Debian 3.0, Mandrake 9, ...) that I have installed on my two hard discs,
and it works well ! So, I've small experiencies of using GRUB.
My problem is that I don't know how to name a cd-reader (on IDE).
Is it possible to 'chainload' to a CD with GRUB ?
If not, is there any hack that I can try to do that ?
Otherwise, I wish to suggest this feature for future plans.
Cheers,
