i am attempting to make a multibooting usb flash drive, which will contain a
couple of live linux distros, a windows PE and freedos. however i am new
with grub and booting, from what i understand you boot an OS with grub by
using the contents of isolinux.cfg if available. i have obtained the latest
(today) fdbootcd.iso from here
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/old/beta9sr2/
which i belive is verison beta9sr2, and extracted it to a 42 megabyte fat32
partition in my usb fladh drive. the relevent contents of isolinux.cfg are
as follows
kernel data/memdisk
append initrd=data/FDBOOT.IMG floppy=0
and from this i have made the following entry in menu.lst for grub
title FREEDOS
root (hd0,2)
kernel /isolinux/data/memdisk floppy=0
initrd=/isolinux/data/fdboot.img
boot
freedos begins to boot and i get the following messeges
ramdisk at 0x17e86000, length 0x0005a000
comand line: floppy=0
disk is floppy 0, 360K, C/H/S =40/2/9

wrong arguments?
