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 ISO image to the harddisk and boot the
6 rescue image. This eliminates the need to carry around a usb stick
9 grml-rescueboot includes the script 42_grml which is installed in
10 /etc/grub.d and run when update-grub is executed. The script looks for
11 ISO images in /boot/grml/ and adds an entry for each image found.
16 - Get a recent Grml image from http://grml.org/download/
17 - Copy the image to /boot/grml
19 - Reboot and enjoy your new rescue system
24 grml-rescueboot uses the loopback feature of grub2, so it won't work
25 with legacy grub. Furthermore the ISO image needs to support
26 loopback.cfg, a file which is placed in /boot/grub/. Grml supports
27 loopback.cfg beginning with release version 2010.04.
