How do you want to boot ?

Multiboot or not?


If you want to have multiboot then use grub!

i want to have multiboot. But if anyone haven't GRUB, he can't boot my kernel. So i must setup GRUB in the first boot. How??

I'm not quite sure what you are saying, but it's one of two possibilities: a) You don't know how to install GRUB onto a hard drive, or b) you don't have a Multiboot-compliant kernel image.

If your problem is the first one, I suggest looking at something like the Gentoo install docs, where they talk about installing GRUB to boot the Linux kernel. I believe they use the grub-install command.

If your problem is the second one, I suggest looking through past posts on this forum, the Multiboot specification, and Google. I won't hold your hand through that, but if you have any specific issues, I'll answer them.
