I had a similar problem. I needed to use GRUB because I had to create a multi-OS DVD-ROM which contained FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD. So I needed a bootmanager which is able to boot all of them. Unfortunately, it didn't work, similar to what the original poster in this thread explained, so I had to forget about making the DVD bootable, and instead require the users to burn CDs or floppies from images contained on the DVD. :-( If anyone knows how to make such a multi-OS bootable DVD, I'm all ears ... I've tried both GRUB and GAG, but neither worked. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
