Hello all, |
2 |

3 |
I'm trying to have the Gentoo Live CD ISO as a recovery media in grub. |
4 |
|
5 |
I tried all the options I could think off in a custom grub menu entry like |
6 |
this: |
7 |
|
8 |
menuentry "Gentoo ISO" { |
9 |
set cmdline="root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc dokeymap looptype=squashfs loop=/image.squashfs cdroot initrd=gentoo.igz BOOT_IMAGE=gentoo" |
10 |
loopback loop /path/to/iso/install-amd64-minimal-20180206T214502Z.iso |
11 |
linux (loop)/isolinux/gentoo $cmdline isoloop=/image.squashfs initrd=gentoo.igz vga=791 BOOT_IMAGE=gentoo |
12 |
initrd (loop)/isolinux/gentoo.igz |
13 |
} |
14 |
|
15 |
It boots the live CD kernel, it even asks for the keymap but then it fails to mount the root device. |

Any idea how to properly boot the iso from grub? |
