** Okay, I found another nice method: "grub-mkrescue --image-type=floppy --modules=multiboot --overlay=floppy/ floppy.img" This will create you a floppy image, which will contain the overlay from the folder "floppy/". When you put a normal grub folder structure in there (like: floppy/boot/grub) and store your kernel.bin and grub.conf in there, it will be loaded fine. You can even create a CD-image. --[[User:Arbaal|Arbaal]] 20:21, 9 March 2010 (UTC) |

- Could you probably be more specific with an example how you created such an image? I tried your example to create a floppy image, but it won't boot with qemu for me. It's most likely totaly simple... --Arbaal
