Procedure 8.7 Creating Boot CDs
1 Change into a directory in which to create the ISO image, for example: cd /tmp
2 Create a subdirectory for GRUB and change into the newly created iso directory:
3 Copy the kernel, the files stage2_eltorito, initrd, menu.lst and
4 Adjust the path entries in boot/grub/menu.lst to make them point to a
5 Create the ISO image with the following command:

mkdir -p iso/boot/grub && cd iso
message to iso/boot/:
cp /boot/vmlinuz boot/
cp /boot/initrd boot/
cp /boot/message boot/
cp /usr/lib/grub/stage2_eltorito boot/grub
cp /boot/grub/menu.lst boot/grub
CD-ROM device. Do this by replacing the device name of the hard disks, listed
in the format (hdx,y), in the pathnames with (cd), the device name of the
CD-ROM drive. You may also need to adjust the paths to the message file, the
kernel and the initrd—they need to point to /boot/message, /boot/
vmlinuz and /boot/initrd, respectively. After having made the adjust-
ments, menu.lst should look similar to the following example:
timeout 8
default 0
gfxmenu (cd)/boot/message
title Linux
root (cd)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda5 vga=794 resume=/dev/sda1 \
splash=verbose showopts
initrd /boot/initrd
Use splash=silent instead of splash=verbose to prevent the boot
messages from appearing during the boot procedure.
