Hello all,

I'm trying to have the Gentoo Live CD ISO as a recovery media in grub.

I tried all the options I could think off in a custom grub menu entry like 
this:

menuentry "Gentoo ISO" {
    set cmdline="root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc dokeymap looptype=squashfs 
loop=/image.squashfs cdroot initrd=gentoo.igz BOOT_IMAGE=gentoo"
    loopback loop /path/to/iso/install-amd64-minimal-20180206T214502Z.iso
    linux  (loop)/isolinux/gentoo $cmdline isoloop=/image.squashfs 
initrd=gentoo.igz vga=791 BOOT_IMAGE=gentoo
    initrd (loop)/isolinux/gentoo.igz
}

It boots the live CD kernel, it even asks for the keymap but then it fails to 
mount the root device.

Any idea how to properly boot the iso from grub?
