For a BIOS boot from CD-ROM, the BIOS maps the int 13h disk functions to the CD-ROM. The installer on CD uses this in the early stages before a full OS is loaded which can handle the disk controller directly. GRUB would have to do that mapping, and by the time the bootup sequence reaches GRUB, it may be too late already. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List plug@lists.q-linux.com (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
