Boot from grml boot (loopback.cffg)

[Member bluedxca93]

This is was worked on my computer to boot antix with the grml boot live iso scripts.

menuentry "Antix" {
	set gfxpayload=keep
	linux  /antiX/vmlinuz from=all fromiso=$iso_path 
         initrd /antiX/initrd.gz 
}

It has to be placed in a file called loopback.cfg in the /boot/grub/ folder of the antix iso.

Why?
I have ubuntu installed to my ssd , now i place my isos of other distributions in /boot/grml of the ssd partiton and then i can boot antix directly from ssd.

I have this in my grub.cfg from my main antiX install. No need for grml boot.

menuentry "ISO boot from encrypted partition" {
     echo Boot disk address is: $root
     insmod luks
     cryptomount -u fe4d690dc47a41aca2e8762669267518
     set root=(crypto0)
     set iso='/antiX-test/antiX-21_alpha1_x64-base.iso'
     set bootparms='buuid=fe4d690d-c47a-41ac-a2e8-762669267518 from=all quiet nocheckfs disable=lx'

     search -f $iso --set=root

     echo ISO root is:          $root
     echo ISO is:               $iso
     echo Boot parms are:       $bootparms
     echo
     loopback loop $iso
     linux (loop)/antiX/vmlinuz fromiso=$iso $bootparms
     initrd (loop)/antiX/initrd.gz
     echo Booting $iso}

Yes it boots an iso from an encrypted partition!

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.
