Hi, I once again have a problem with memdisk failing to boot a harddisk image to update my Thinkpad X200s firmware. I extracted the harddisk image from the eltorito type 4 ISO using the isobar tool.

hi there. I'm trying to boot several OSes floppy images from a cdrom via memdisk. Actually, Linux and FreeBSD boots fine, but, while i'm using the same method, I couldn't get into booting netbsd nor openbsd. The boot process seems to hang up, in those two cases, when the second stage native bootloader try to load the kernel (i'm not absolutely sure about this). The native first

Hello, I'm having a problem booting a compressed ISO image using memdisk via grub2 (version 2.02).
