Booting from Grub - HowTo
Ok, I did it ;-) If you want to boot KoOS directly with grub, you need to do that: * get and install the package syslinux * copy /usr/lib/syslinux/memdisk to /boot * copy your KoOS-image to /boot * add this lines to your grub.conf: label KoOS root (hd0,0) # edit this to your correct partition, given example is hda1 kernel /boot/memdisk initrd /boot/menuet.img * reboot and enjoy edit: just tried, it is not necessary to copy the image to /boot, poit your config "root"-entry to your FAT or NTFS-partition, where the image resides, and write the kernel-entry with (hd0,0)/boot/memdisk or where ever your linux partition is. BTW, one limitation is in this method: The kernel cannot save its boot settings :(

derPENGUIN It is very good, it would be desirable, that who be, has made similar and with LILO. Good luck.

I tried it with lilo, too, but there it isn´t possible, because lilo doesn´t support the "kernel" or similar parameter. I´ll look deeper into the manuals, if I find some solution, I post it here.
