How do I boot from the .iso?

Currently I'm running Ubuntu on sda1.

my custom grub file:

Code: Select all

thufir@doge:~$
thufir@doge:~$ cat /etc/grub.d/40_custom
#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries.  Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment.  Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.


menuentry “ViciBox6preload” {
set isofile=”/home/thufir/Downloads/Vicibox_v.6.0.x86_64-6.0.3.iso”
loopback loop (hd0,1)$isofile
    linux (loop)/boot/x86_64/loader/linux install=hd:$isofile
    initrd (loop)/boot/x86_64/loader/initrd
}
thufir@doge:~$


I googled, as best I could, the settings for OpenSuSE.

try grub-imageboot

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install grub-imageboot
sudo mkdir /boot/images
sudo cp Vicibox_v.6.0.x86_64-6.0.3.iso /boot/images
sudo update-grub

It displayed the splash-image (but I needed to write what kernel to load before though) it started to boot but failed, something about the MBR,
but it might work for you

You would normally burn the ISO to a CD/DVD or a USB drive and boot from that. I'm not sure what you are trying to do.

It's possible to use GRUB to boot the ISO. I was thinking that there might be a problem with the DVD drive.
