Re: El Torito boot (alternate boot)

Hi

I think that Slackware had the same problem, and they used isolinux to solve
it (in slackware8 they let the users to choose which kernel they want to
boot, 2.4, 2.2 etc)
See http://ftp1.sourceforge.net/pub/slackware/slackware-8.0/isolinux/

  Hola,



  mkisofs has the following option (from the man page):


       -eltorito-alt-boot
              Start  with  a  new set of "El Torito" boot parame­
              ters.  This allows to have more than one El  Torito
              boot  on  a  CD.   A  maximum  of 63 El Torito boot
              entries may be put on a single CD.


  Theoretically, this means I can boot more than one image from a CD. In
reality, my question would be:  How do you chose ?  There is no - boot
menu with options.

  Any experience with it ?
