    Boot iso on pen drive by grub installed on pen drive

    Hello!!!
    I have a pen drive with grub installed.
    With it i'm trying to boot the knoppix iso KNOPPIX_V5.1.1.iso wich is on the 4 partition of the pen drive...
    Those are the partitions:
    Code:
    Dispositivo Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
    /dev/sdc1   *           1           1        8001   83  Linux
    /dev/sdc2               2         106      843412+  83  Linux
    /dev/sdc3             107         200      755055   83  Linux
    /dev/sdc4             201         976     6233220    b  W95 FAT32
    I extract the folder /boot from the iso and i copied it in the same root where is KNOPPIX_V5.1.1.iso the list of file is:
    Code:
    boot KNOPPIX_V5.1.1.iso
    I tried to configure grub menu.lst for booting from iso...but when i boot knoppix i always receive the error:
    Code:
    Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry.
    Dropping you to a (very limited) shell.
    Press reset button to quit.
    The grub's configuration is:
    Code:
    title		Knoppix 5.1.1
    root		(hd0,3)
    kernel		/boot/isolinux/linux ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=it apm=power-off vga=791 nomce quiet fromhd=/hda4/koppix.5.1.1.iso or even fromhd=scan config=scan home=scan ramdisk=32768 noprompt
    initrd		/boot/isolinux/minirt.gz
    quiet
    boot
    I tried a lot of time and i think the error is in the grub's configration where i wrote fromhd=/hda4...because with hda knoppix search on my first hard disk but it must search for the pen drive...
    I hope you can help me...
    Thank you!!!

    Jena,

    Give it a try with a slight rewrite to"fromhd=scan" and note the result. I'm actually using a version of the 5.3.1 CD, with the contents ripped from the disc and copied onto a USB stick. Your system should work fine with one or two minor changes to menu.lst.
