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?
