 Thank you for your reply.

I tried to use multiboot as you have mentionned (yet I didn't know that command since it's not documented) ... setupfree.sys was loaded but stops with errors. First, it's a "Disk Read Failed in LBA mode", then "Error: bad command passed to driver", then "Error initializing .ini file", then finally the error "Error opening freeldr.ini or file not found. You need to re-install FreeLoader."

Here is how I proceed:
    grub> loopback loop (hd0,1)/ReactOS-LiveCD.iso
    grub> root (loop)
    (loop): Filesystem is iso9660
    grub> multiboot /loader/setupldr.sys
    grub> boot

I have also tried multiboot2, but it fails with the error:
    grub> multiboot2 /loader/setupldr.sys
    error : multiboot header not found.

All this shows clearly that the bootsector in the iso is required for booting.


Please, could you add a parameter to chainloader so it can load sectors in a given size?
It could be something like :
    grub> chainloader --sector-size 2048 (loop)21+1


Thank you in avdance.
