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."
At this point GRUB has done its job but FreeLDR is unable to find root
inside an iso file because it simply doesn't support this. Nothing grub
can do about it.
Here is how I proceed:
grub> loopback loop (hd0,1)/ReactOS-LiveCD.iso
grub> root (loop)
It's root=(loop), root
All this shows clearly that the bootsector in the iso is required for
booting.
Won't make any difference with multiboot command.
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.
