| 19 | Maybe this helps: |

| 21 | Boot the ISO image from the disk using Grub2 |
| 22 | http://www.sysresccd.org/Sysresccd-manual-en_Easy_install_SystemRescueCd_on_harddisk#Boot_the_ISO_image_from_the_disk_using_Grub2 |
| 23 | |
| 24 | Here is my grub config: |
| 25 | set isofile="/systemrescuecd-x86-2.3.1.iso" |
| 26 | loopback loop (vg_8540w-lv_boot)$isofile |
| 27 | linux (loop)/isolinux/rescue64 docache setkmap=sg isoloop=$isofile |
| 28 | initrd (loop)/isolinux/initram.igz |
| 29 | |
| 30 | If you use "docache", you are able to unmount your partition after |
| 31 | booting... |
