Boot live with rootfs splitted

Hello, I wanted to launch the last iso rolling live through the grub (1), but I do not get the graphics.

In the past it was possible to extract vmlinuz and rootfs from the isos and launch them from the grub menu,

but now it looks like it doesn't.

What has changed?

My steps were these:

mount -o loop slitaz-rolling.iso /vfs <<< (vfs is a temporary folder)

cd /vfs

cp -ar * /media/disk/boot/rolling/ <<< (folder on a separate partition for launching the live)

umount /vfs

grub menu.lst

title SliTaz rolling live

root (hd0,5)

kernel /boot/rolling/boot/vmlinuz-3.16.55-slitaz kmap=it

initrd /boot/rolling/boot/rootfs4.gz /boot/rolling/boot/rootfs3.gz /boot/rolling/boot/rootfs2.gz

/boot/rolling/boot/rootfs1.gz

from the analysis of the various rootfs.gz, Xorg is in file 3, but despite being loaded, from live is not accessible

ls /usr/bin/Xorg

ls: /usr/bin/Xorg: No such file or directory

What is the rootfs loading order...?

Try

[c]kernel /boot/rolling/boot/vmlinuz-3.16.55-slitaz rw root=/dev/null kmap=it[/c]

Re: Boot live with rootfs splitted

Sorry it's my fault, in my installation I had the folder /boot/grub of version 0.97, while the one installed in the so was grub4dos 0.4.4. In the end, even though everything worked anyway, it didn't load the next rootfs in the live splitted version.

Restored the right files now it also works fine.
