Please Any One Give me an disk Image With x86-64 GRUB

Post by hendric »

Hey guys ,
as I have to boot my fucking x86-64 arch based kernel without implementing my own bootloader ( that will cost too much time ) that I need an image , which have already been format with a simple file system format ( FAT 12/16/32 etc. ) , with x86-64 GRUB pre-installed.
Any help will be apreciated.
Thank you.
Regards.

Hendric Lee

There is no x86-64 grub. What fileformat is your kernel in? You could write your own loader in 32bit code that loads your 64bit executable.

Yea That's what I have done. And now I think it a pretty good way . Thank you for your kind reply.

P.S. I use FAT filesystem family and now I support FAT12/16 :shock:

Nope, its a 32-bit grub. The only difference is that its packaged for a 64-bit distribution.
