It is relatively easy to boot GNU\/Linux from GRUB, because it somewhat resembles to boot a Multiboot-compliant OS.<\/p>\n
Set GRUB’s root device to the same drive as GNU\/Linux’s. The command search –set=root –file \/vmlinuz or similar may help you (see search).
\n Load the kernel using the command linux (see linux):<\/p>\n
grub> linux \/vmlinuz root=\/dev\/sda1<\/p>\n
If you need to specify some kernel parameters, just append them to the command. For example, to set acpi to \u2018off\u2019, do this:<\/p>\n
grub> linux \/vmlinuz root=\/dev\/sda1 acpi=off<\/p>\n
See the documentation in the Linux source tree for complete information on the available options.<\/p>\n
With linux GRUB uses 32-bit protocol. Some BIOS services like APM or EDD aren’t available with this protocol. In this case you need to use linux16<\/p>\n
grub> linux16 \/vmlinuz root=\/dev\/sda1 acpi=off<\/p>\n
If you use an initrd, execute the command initrd (see initrd) after linux:<\/p>\n
grub> initrd \/initrd<\/p>\n
If you used linux16 you need to use initrd16:<\/p>\n
grub> initrd16 \/initrd<\/p>\n
Finally, run the command boot (see boot). <\/p>\n
