Dear one ,

I have a bootable Flash USB and i want to use a boot loader such as GRUB4DOS or SYSLinux for booting ISO files that i copied to it .
Which of them can load my ISO from USB ?
I think that GRUB4dos wih these menu.lst can do it but How Can syslinux do it ?

title SLITAZ 3
map --heads=0 --sectors-per-track=0 /slitaz.iso (0xFF)
map --hook
root (0xFF)
chainloader (0xFF)
boot

[shamurshamur]

LABEL slitaz

   MENU LABEL slitaz 3

   LINUX memdisk

   INITRD slitaz.iso

   APPEND iso

Well, YES/NO.
That is about using MEMDISK (and MEMory).
That would be the same as using map --mem in grub4dos.
Thoigh there is a way:

cannot say if it will work specifically

What is in your syslinux.cfg file?

What is in your syslinux.cfg file?

label slitaz

label slitaz
kernel /boot/bzImage
append initrd=/boot/rootfs.gz rw root=/dev/null vga=normal autologin

Please read syslinux/doc/syslinux.txt and this.

DEFAULT slitaz

LABEL slitaz

  LINUX /boot/bzImage

  INITRD /boot/rootfs.gz

  APPEND rw root=/dev/null vga=normal autologin

Thanks ... The first line ( Default slitaz ) solved my problem .

Thanks

You're welcome, I'm sure.

I don't think so. I think that reading the documentation and following the examples that people provide for you might help even more.

In your syslinux.cfg, you use the older syntax where you put the initrd on the append line. shamurshamur provided an example in post #2 that didn't use that older syntax, but you didn't mimic the example.

ok , that's right
changing to new syntax form of APPEND must be done .
How can i customise syslinux to multiboot ?
