Arrrg. Syntax!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kernel /isolinux17/vmlinuz repo=hd:LABEL=/home1:/iso17/
good?
Here is the grub stanza I used this time:
title Install Fedora17 from iso
root (hd0,2)
pause have rooted (hd0,2)
find /isolinux17/vmlinuz
pause have finded
kernel /isolinux17/vmlinuz kernel /isolinux17/vmlinuz repo=hd:LABEL=/home1:/iso17/
pause kernel /isolinux17/vmlinuz kernel /isolinux17/vmlinuz
repo=hd:LABEL=/home1:/iso17/
find /isolinux17/initrd.img
pause have finded
initrd /isolinux17/initrd.img
pause have initrded
All the finds gave the expected results. All the pauses happened.
The last thing I saw before the screen went blurry was
... unpacking initramfs
I took a picture of the final screen.
It is attached.
The original color JPEG was over 2MB, so I whittled.
