Hello list,
I've got a grub menu.lst that looks like this:
default 0
timeout 5
title miva kernel v1.0B
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/kernel.bin
It's only showing the grub menu. Any idea how to get it to use the cd?


Thanks,

I'm not sure that grub is able to boot a cd. Try syslinux instead.

Hello,
I finally found an image to do what I want.
I'm working on making my own kernel, and am starting work on DMA and 
paging--didn't want to have to deal with writing a boot loader too. :)

It is able to boot _from_ a cd, but not to boot a cd image if it's not
booted from it.

It won't work better than grub in that regard.

Why not? The syslinux project contains isolinux, which is specifically
designed for booting cds.

For booting _from_ CDs, just like grub is able to, yes.  Booting a CD
image is however much more difficult since you have to emulate a floppy
drive, etc.
