Grub boot CD

Post by piranha »

I have a question...
I want to make a bootable CD with grub...
I have a folder called iso. It has folders:
boot
boot/grub
boot/grub contains stage2_eltorito

I executed this command in the parent directory of iso:

mkisofs -R -b ./iso/boot/grub/stage2_eltorito -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o grub.iso iso

It says that it can't find the stage2_eltorito file, even though it's there. :x

Can you help?

You are using a different command line than given in the grub manual:

Code: Select all

     $ mkisofs -R -b boot/grub/stage2_eltorito -no-emul-boot \
         -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o grub.iso iso
Try that instead.

Thanks, it seems like I tried that before and it didn't work, but it works now...
