Chainload Grub2 from Grub4Dos

Why would you want to chainload Grub2 from Grub4Dos? In my case, I don't know of a way to chainload Grub2 directly from Syslinux, but I do know how to chainload Grub4Dos from Syslinux, and Grub2 from Grub4Dos.

Here is the Grub4Dos menu entry:


title Grub2
find --set-root /boot/grub/core.img
kernel /boot/grub/core.img
boot


That should do it. You'll need Grub2's system files, of course. I run several USB drives on which I installed Grub2 on as per http://www.pendrivelinux.com/install-grub2-on-usb-from-ubuntu-linux/


Note: I did not grub-install on the USB I'm multibooting, I used grub-install on another USB drive and copied /boot/grub/* over to my super multiboot USB.

You can use my Grub2 installation if you don't want to bother making your own. I included a sample grub.cfg file. This should go in your USB drive's root directory, so that you get something like /boot/grub/core.img
