[Grml] how to enable boot from hd after timeout?

[Gregor Zattler]

Hi grml users,

I remastered the grml cdrom in order to backup a windows
computer.

It should boot Windows form hard disk if the user does not hit
any key within a certain amount of time. This is necessary in
order to enable remote administration of the windows computer
even if the cd rom is in the cd tray.


There is this statement:

ontimeout chain.32 hd0 0

in isolinux.cfg but instead when the countdown reaches zero one
hears a beep and the count down beginns again (for 100 seconds).

chain.32 is in boot/isolinux as is isolinux.cfg.

Any ideas on how to achive boot from hard drive when no key was
pressed?

Ciao, Gregor

Hi Gilberto,

I remaster grml via:

grml-live -V -s stable -C /etc/grml/grml-live.conf.local -D /grml/grml-live/grml_fai_config/"

The /etc/apt/sources.list of this system points to debian/jessie
and grml-stable.

Does this answer your question?

Thanks for looking into this, gregor

Actually the file is named chain.c32
^
The wrong name is is from
/usr/share/grml-live/templates/boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg
in grml-live_0.27.0_all.deb and therefore a bug.


The now tried and tested menu entry is:

ontimeout chain.c32 hd0 0

Now Windows boots from local hard drive when no key is pressed
after timeout.

Ciao; Gregor
