Request: Boot stage 2 from the given sector

Open nguyentumine opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

I noticed that the Grub 0.97 (stage1) and Grub2 (boot.img) MBRs will boot stage2 (stage2 for Grub 0.97 and core.img for Grub2) from a specified sector. So I can easily install Grub2 on a GPT disk to boot into Legacy BIOS mode.

I hope that Grub4dos will also support this. MBR (440 byte) -> Load the stage2 from the given sector -> load grldr.

Thanks!

In fact grub4dos supports booting from the gpt partition table But slightly different from grub2

And for grub4dos at this stage, let grub4dos work on gpt partition table is not a good idea Gpt partition table does not allow grub4dos to work better on USB And for modern Linux distributions that work on btrfs zfs or other modern file systems Grub2 should be a better choice
