![]() ![]() The wiki has `extlinux -install` first and then `dd. I really appreciate the help! I'll give a whirl to adding the syslinux menu and see if that helps knowing which order to do the above two steps would be great. ![]() I don't think I'll need chain.c32 since I'm not going to be loading anything else, just using EasyBCD to chain syslinux. I'm wondering if since I don't have a menu.c32, perhaps that's why it's just sitting there with a blinking cursor. Though I think that this EasyBCD sounds like it might freak me out even more in how much automagic setup it tries to do for the user (I googled it real quick out of curiousity). grub2 freaks me out in how little control it makes me feel like I have. I also think you can force grub2 to install the the PBR, but I am not certain on that. Worst case, you can simply use the grub-legacy package from the AUR and do it that way. If you are using something of questionable comaptibility it is probably best to look into the documentation and see what is up. Offhand I cannot think of what those filesystems are, but I am fairly certain that it can handle ext (four is what I am the most iffy about) and I think it can handle vfat. You do need to ensure that you are using a filesystem that is compatible with extlinux. I cannot see how this would goof anything up, and if you did indeed happen to manage that, it would tell you about it when you tried to install extlinux to the partition. It should be fine to dd the filesystem to /dev/sda2 then use extlinux to install it. ![]()
