Actually, this turns out not to be necessary at all. After all, GRUB Invaders is a multiboot-compliant kernel game and as such can be loaded directly by means of qemu's -kernel parameter. Thus, the "run" script would look like this: qemu-system-i386 -kernel invaders.exec Please find the kernel image attached. It is built from the Debian sources found here: https://packages.qa.debian.org/i/invaders.html Hope this helps. If there are any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask me. - Fabian PS: I am a bit shocked by the fact how complicated it is to install GRUB on a disk image. And, John, even if the approach you outlined worked, I guess GRUB will find its device.map puzzled when it will get rebooted from inside an image file instead of an actual hard-drive partition the next time.
