It just occurred to me that YUMI is using syslinux... *sigh*

Hi, please keep in mind that I am a complete Linux newbie. I was going
to try out a few distros with YUMI (Let's you multi-boot OS installers
or utilities from a USB drive). YUMI puts all the OS installers on the
same partition. One limitation of YUMI is that you can't have both
Windows and Ubuntu OS installers. The work-around is to rename the
"sources" directory belonging to Windows, which allows the Ubuntu
installer to work. I thought a good solution would be to put them on
different partitions. So here is my question:
Is it possible to pipeline the find result to the root command, so that
you can boot from a different partition on the USB drive. I got the
inspiration from reading on the web, where someone describes how to
recover after Windows fucks up the MBR.
grub>find /boot/grub/core.img
grub>root (hdx,y) (previous command will output the x,y)
grub>kernel /boot/grub/core.img
grub>boot
Thanks, Marcos
