How do I get GRUB to boot an ISO image on a disk? Do I dd it onto the partition? Format the partition ext3 and then dd an ISO into a file? Mount the CD and copy the entire filesystem file-by-file? I'm really not trolling. I've been arguing with GRUB at work for a while to make it do the right thing with a CD on a box that insisted on not booting off of the CD. I fixed that system by netbooting it and flinging my Fedora CD into the trash, but if it ever comes up again, I'd like to know a solution other than "netboot Slackware."
