Thank you for your findings. Unfortunately it still doesn't work with the same issue: will not find/mount the root device. After booting I can't even mount /dev/ram0 manually at the busybox prompt and this looks like a bigger issue to me. > > Having read all of that again this does seem like the fix.

I've grown a bit tired by this already. Before I will try your and Neil's suggestions I will test my luck with the Sysrescuecd iso. It seems that more people are interested in this and are reporting success. > > > On Fri, Feb 16, 2018 at 1:34 PM, zless <zl...@dmesg.site> wrote: > > 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? > > > > > > > > > > > >
