I'm now using grub4dos to boot a floppy DOS image like this:
map --mem (hd0,0)/floppy.img (fd0)
map --hook
chainloader (fd0)+1
rootnoverify (fd0)
I'd like to switch to grub2 but so far I can't get it to
boot the same image. I've tried two methods:
loopback fd1 (hd0,1)/floppy.img
set root=fd1
chainloader (fd1)+1
or:
chainloader (hd0,1)/floppy.img
Both methods give the same result: a typical DOS
"missing system, hit any key to reboot" error, but
hitting any key does nothing and I have to do a hard
reset to reboot. (BTW, I see the floppy disk drive
light come on during the boot. Should this happen
when trying to boot a floppy image?)
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
