Hi, I want to add ArchLinux by EazyBoot, but without success.
I extract the content of iso in disk1 folder (without changing boot folder name, etc...I only tried with an iso) and I tried with all commands that I know: run xxx.bif (or bootinfotable;run xxx.bif or infotable;run xxx.bif...after extraction and placement of iso boot loader in ezboot folder), bcdw /ezboot/xxx.iso, bcdw *** *** initrd=*** ********** (so without xxx.bif help), but nothing!!!
Can you help me?

Regards

There is a news...
This is archlinux isolinux.cfg file:
CODE

prompt 1
timeout 0
display boot.msg
F1 boot.msg
F2 options.msg
F3 help.msg
DEFAULT arch

LABEL arch
KERNEL /boot/vmlinuz26
APPEND lang=en locale=en_US.UTF-8 archisolabel=ARCHISO_AHCOHH6O ramdisk_size=75% initrd=/boot/archiso_pata.img

LABEL archide
KERNEL /boot/vmlinuz26
APPEND lang=en locale=en_US.UTF-8 archisolabel=ARCHISO_AHCOHH6O ramdisk_size=75% initrd=/boot/archiso_ide.img

LABEL memtest
KERNEL /boot/memtest

and with this command (in EasyBoot): memdisk /boot/vmlinuz26 it starts now and ask me about boot. So I write initrd=/boot/archiso_pata.img from command-line and it continues, but there is a problem in mounting phase of archiso volume (I receive an error and archiso volume isn't mounted).
Any idea? and how can I integrate "initrd=/boot/archiso_pata.img" with "memdisk /boot/vmlinuz26" in EasyBoot?

Welcome to this forum @castleman :)

Well I tested using my script easyboot-iso.script and I get the full menu and it continues loading – but as you pointed out – this pops up in the end: “archiso volume isn't mounted”.
I tried to extract files from ISO to the root of easyboot (disk1) but still didn’t “play the game” anyway :(

Mabye @madar can come to your help – as I consider @madar to be a kind of expert :;):  (comparing to me) on the “isolinux-field”.

Can you explain how to use it for my purpose? The program is a bit "dispersive".
