1 The Debian Package grml-rescueboot
2 ==================================
4 Usually systems are rescued with CD or USB stick. grml-rescueboot makes
5 it possible to simply copy an Grml ISO image to the harddisk and boot the
6 rescue image. This eliminates the need to carry around a USB stick
7 to rescue a system as long as the hard disk and the boot manager still
10 grml-rescueboot includes the script 42_grml which is installed in
11 /etc/grub.d and run when update-grub is executed. The script looks for
12 ISO images in /boot/grml/ and adds an entry for each image found.
17 - Get a recent Grml image from http://grml.org/download/
18 - Copy the image to /boot/grml
20 - Reboot and enjoy your new rescue system
25 grml-rescueboot uses the loopback feature of GRUB2, so it won't work
26 with legacy GRUB. Furthermore the ISO image needs to support
27 loopback.cfg, a file which is placed in /boot/grub/. Grml supports
28 loopback.cfg beginning with release version 2010.04.

37 build framework. Visit http://grml.org/grml-live/ and
