Although it is not abundantly clear, I think An Liu was after a way of booting a netinst or DVD-1 image using GRUB's loopback device. This is, as has been said a few times in this thread, not possible using the initrds of those images. Quite a few people have asked for the loop module to be added to d-i's initrd and have even provided patches. Up to now the d-i team have not provided this facility. loopback with GRUB can be done if the hd-media initrd is used with the d-i kernel, but it can be a bit fraught. > My interest in this stems from a Laptop on which you are blind until > the kernel loads (ie text pours down the screen).
