| |
Hi all,
I am using the linux kernel in combination with busybox and a separate bootloader app to startup a x86 based embedded device. As the used BIOS does only do basic hw init, we used Linux as a bootloader. Our custom BIOS starts the bootloader kernel located in BIOS flash. If the kernel and userland is ready our boot application searches for the productive kernel and executes it via kexec.
Now I run in some troubles as I need to be able to boot a MSDOS application stored on an usb stick. I have tried grub4linux but I am not able to boot from the usb stick - even I see the grub command line.
Are there some creative/working solutions for my problem?
thanks -- Christian Gmeiner, MSc
