"bootfrom=" cheatcode with 4.0 dvd ISO image?

[star_gazer09]

I used an an ISO image on hard disk to boot 3.7 and 3.9 with the "bootfrom=" cheat code. I have an ISO image of 4.0 on my disk now. I can boot the same image from a DVD fine, but when I try to boot from the image on the hard disk, I get a message telling me that there are two images there, and it fails back tro the DVD for boot.

After poking around a bit, I see there is /cdrom/KNOPPIX and /cdrom/KNOPPIX2 on the dvd.

Any one have a way to make the "bootfrom=" cheatcode work with the DVD ISO image?

Thanks

Please let me know if it works for you as well.

I checked that thread, and it seemed to concentrate on using grub to boot an image from a hard disk without using the DVD rom. I'm just trying to boot the image using the dvd in the drive as I had before.

If I read the thread correctly, in order to do that I'd have to remaster the image and change the init script?

Sorry, I've mostly been a programmer and user, not making custom installs.

Thanks for the reference,
