I haven't tested, but if you label the USB device with a unique name, then a script like this should work: search -f MyUsbLabel linux /boot/vmlinuz root=LABEL=MyUsbLabel ro initrd /boot/initrd.imgThis means it`s only possible to boot linux that way? Chan loading another bootloader directly isn`t possible?I don't know. Maybe someone else can answer this question.
But as for booting from a USB device, got me. That one works from a floppy if native boot support doesn't exist.
I don`t see what runt has to do with it. It`s basically a slackware based distro for usb pendrives.
My question here was how to (generic) boot an usb device if the bios does not support booting from usb. :)
