    Boot from floppy and ISO image

    I have downloaded the boot image file boot.img and made a bootable floppy, I also downloaded the KNOPPIX.iso and store at D: which is /dev/hda5.

    Then I boot up the notebook from the floppy, and type
    "knoppix bootfrom=/dev/hda5/KNOPPIX.iso lang=us"

    The floppy linux boot up and dislpay:
    "Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry.
    Dropping you to a (very limited) shell.
    Press reset button to quit."

    What should I do to make it bootable from floppy and ISO-image?

    ========

    Another question, I have installed GRUB. How can I make the floppy image boot.img bootable from GRUB?

    ========

    I know I have so many questions, hope you do mind to help me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Unless you changed the filename, it won't find what you typed, because the ISO's filename is actually much longer.

    Try "knoppix bootfrom=/dev/hda5/K*.iso lang=us" The asterisk serves as a wildcard for the rest of the letters and numbers in the filename.
