Has anyone got this working? I have many times used the FAQ located at http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/HdBasedHowTo to boot the KNOPPIX 3.3 compressed file system from my hard drive instead of from CDROM.
I especially liked using LILO to set up a boot menu so that I don't have to use boot floppies or a cdrom to get the HD installed filesystem going.
The steps I used to use to create a boot directory on the partition where I copy the CD image to (HDA3 in this example) went as follows:
mkdir /mnt/hda3/boot/
cp /boot/System.map /mnt/hda3/boot/
mount /cdrom/KNOPPIX/boot-en.img /mnt/test -o loop -t vfat
cp /mnt/test/* /mnt/hda3/boot
However, with 3.4 there is no longer a boot.img or boot-en.img.
Although I can still do a manual "poor mans dual boot " using a set of floppies or the CDROM to boot, I would like to be able to boot directly from the PC without using any media.
Thanks in advance,
