If you are looking for a ready-made floppy image with GRUB already installed, such has been set up by MartinBaute, and is available from the following mirrors: This works because offsets are generally relative to the start of the partition. In general, you can solve the partitioning information problem by using a separate image for one partition, then insert it into a larger image with partitioning data at the right place. Linux users can use a hack to skip over the MBR sector.
There is also a tutorial about creating a no-emulation El-Torito CD with GRUB.Īt the time of writing, only Apple's hdiutil and Plan 9's partfs can handle the mounting of partitions inside of an image cleanly. Much more humane than those floppy games. See the GRUB 0.95 info node Installation > Making a GRUB bootable CD-ROM for details. Putting GRUB on a CD is now a simple matter of making a skeleton directory tree for the CD filesystem layout, copying the "stage2_eltorito" file in there, and running mkisofs with a specialized command line. Creating a CD image is much easier than working with floppy images and trying to stuff GRUB in them (and you get 650 meg more space too). You can use 'dd' to create a blank floppy image.ĭd if= /dev /zero of=floppy.flp bs= 512 count= 2880 CD imagesĪs of version 0.95, GNU GRUB comes with support for no-emulation El-Torito CD boot. Very small, dependency-free and has a simple GUI If you want to write/burn an image to media you can use one of the following tools: They are easy to use as they mount a disk partition or image file on a directory, and you can manipulate the files in the image with standard tools afterwards. You can also write your own if you'd like.
