I have GRUB1 on a partition of my hard drive, from which I boot various Linux distributions. My BIOS no longer can be set to boot from the cd drive (I screwed it up), so I need to set up new distros as frugal installations. That's easy to do with Puppy, TinyCore, and a few others, but when I try with, say, a Ubuntu or Debian derivative, the boot fails and I get the message, "try init=bootarg." In the kernel line I have tried "fromiso=/[location]," and other shifts, but they generally don't work. Any suggestions?
