Hello all:

How can I boot a GRML installation from the Live CD?

I have a GRML installation on the 3rd partition.
When running from the Live CD the partition is identified as /dev/sda3.
I did not want to install the boot loader to the MBR of /dev/sda so I
installed LILO to /dev/sda3.

Hi

I assume you have the grml version of 2009.05 This should work:
Press 'c' at the menu to give you a grub prompt and then enter the
following commands

grub> rootnoverify (hd0,2)
grub> chainloader +1

That ought to transfer from grub on the live-cd to lilo on your grml
installation and boot up from there.
