Multiboot USB pen Description

A tutorial to create a multiboot USB pen By following this tutorial is possible to get a multiboot USB pen, with grml 1.1, grml64 0.2 and grml-medium. This might be useful if you need a 32bit together with a 64bit version on just one medium like a USB pen.First of all take the 32bit version and install it to your USB pen using grml2usb. Then proceed as follows:# Mount the USB pen (in this example /dev/sdb1) where you installed# the first grml ISO using grml2usb:GRML2USB=/mnt/usb-sdb1mount ${GRML2USB}# Mount the second ISO as well:TARGET=/mnt/testmount -o loop /grml/grml-isos/grml64_0.2.iso ${TARGET}# Set up squashfs:cp ${TARGET}/live/grml64.squashfs ${GRML2USB}/live/grml64.squashfsecho grml64.squashfs >> ${GRML2USB}/live/grml64.module# Copy kernel and initrd:cp ${TARGET}/boot/grml64/initrd.gz ${GRML2USB}/grml64.gzcp ${TARGET}/boot/grml64/linux26 ${GRML2USB}/grml64Now adjust syslinux.cfg and add an additional entry for the second ISO. Usage example:# cat syslinux.cfg# Configuration for 32bit grml (being present already):LABEL grmlMENU LABEL grml - Standard BootupMENU DEFAULTKERNEL linux26APPEND apm=power-off lang=us vga=791 quiet initrd=initrd.gz boot=live nomce# Add an additional configuration entry for 64bit grml:LABEL grml64MENU LABEL grml - Standard BootupMENU DEFAULTKERNEL grml64APPEND apm=power-off lang=us vga=791 quiet initrd=grml64.gz boot=live module=grml64 nomceFinally invoke syslinux (don’t forget to adjust the device name according to your needs):syslinux /dev/sdb1That’s it! Now you should have a USB pen which lets you choose “grml64” on the bootprompt to boot the 64bit version of grml. Requirements: · grml
