The system can boot from any of following devices: |
- Floppy 3.5 |

3) Moreover, there exist a program which allow load Kolibri directly from |
Windows 95/98/Me (of course, unloading it) - 9x2klbr (author - Diamond), |
supports FAT32 and NTFS. |
4) Usage of the loader GRUB. The way of using file 'memdisk' to load Kolibri |
has been described by derPENGUIN on english forum |
(http://meos32.7.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=110). |
The suggested method (described by Alver) is based on that description |
and was checked on grub-0.97-19mdv2007.0. |
1. Kolibri can write only on FAT filesystem, so if image file is placed not |
to FAT volume, the system can not save settings. Therefore if you have |
FAT32 partition, place 'kolibri.img' there. |
2. This method requires the file 'memdisk' from the package 'syslinux' |
(http://syslinux.zytor.com). You may install the whole package or only |
extract the mentioned file. Only the file 'memdisk' is needed. (After |
package install it will be in '/usr/lib/syslinux'). |
3. Place the file 'memdisk' to the folder 'boot' or to the partition used |
for Kolibri. |
4. Add to the configuration file 'menu.lst' ('grub.conf') lines as follow: |
4) Usage of the loader GRUB. Place the file 'memdisk' to the folder 'boot' |
or to the partition used for Kolibri. |
a) For GRUB2, in the folder /etc/grub.d add to one of files next lines: |
|
menuentry 'KolibriOS' { |
linux16 (hd[Hard disk number],[partition number])[path]/memdisk |
initrd16 (hd[Hard disk number],[partition number])[path]/kolibri.img |
} |
|
example: |
|
menuentry 'KolibriOS' { |
linux16 (hd0,msdos1)/boot/memdisk |
initrd16 (hd0,msdos1)/boot/kolibri.img |
} |
|
then, run in terminal 'sudo update-grub'. |
|
b) For old GRUB, add to the configuration file 'menu.lst' next lines: |
|
title KolibriOS |
kernel (hd[Hard disk number],[partition number])[path]/memdisk |
initrd (hd[Hard disk number],[partition number])[path]/kolibri.img |
|
(Remember that numeration of partitions in GRUB starts from 0.) |
Example: |
Remember that numeration in GRUB starts from 0. Example: |
|
title KolibriOS |
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/memdisk |
initrd (hd0,3)/kolibri/kolibri.img |
|
The initial variant was: |
|
label KolibriOS |
root (hd[Hard disk number],[partition number]) |
kernel [path]/memdisk |
initrd [path]/kolibri.img |
|
Here 'memdisk' and 'kolibri.img' must be placed on the same partition. |
|
Example: |
label KolibriOS |
root (hd0,0) |
kernel /boot/memdisk |
initrd /boot/kolibri.img |
This example is the variant described on english forum, with install to |
Linux boot partition (of course, without FAT partition). |
|
5) The previous method could not work as is in GRUB2 (tested by Apocalypse_dn), |
the commands "linux16" and "initrd16" should be used instead of "kernel" |
and "initrd" (suggested by vkos). |
|
III. Install to USB-Flash-drive. |
The special loader for FAT32-volumes has been written, it and its installer |
to flash drive can be found in the folder HD_load\USB_Boot. |
