Working mainly from memory: Obtain the hd-media from http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/main/installer-i386/current/images/ Put vmlinuz and initrd.gz in a directory of your choice. In grub.cfg put menuentry "debian-netinst-iso" { linux /<DIR>/vmlinuz priority=low initrd /<DIR>/initrd.gz } You may, of course, add installer options to the 'linux' line. Put the netinst ISO in <DIR>. Boot, select entry, scan devices to find the ISO. > It would be helpful if you could share any knowledge you might have > on utilizing loop.ko module, mentioned in the bug report. If I did have any knowledge I've forgotten most of it. :) In the end I decided booting from an isohybrid on a USB stick was far more convenient than whatever I devised, which may have involved remastering the ISO. Perhaps the bug report indicates a way forward. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
