boot img like a iso, but.. - z-80a - 2018-10-14 07:19

Hello!
I want to load a virtual machine image without using iscsi target, like a bootable iso image:

Code:

:iso

initrd ../Win98SE_bootdisk.iso || goto failed

chain ../memdisk iso raw || goto failed

goto start

it works!

It is logical to assume that the raw image (mbr, gpt and other scheme) can not be placed completely in the ramdisk. Maybe I'm wrong and there is a way around it..

Help me, please!
