and download plpbt-5.0.14.zip. Click on the archive and extract plpbt.bin in your /boot directory.
1)If you have grub-legacy edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst inserting:
Code: Select all
title PLoP Boot Manager
root (hdX,Y)
kernel /boot/plpbt.bin
2)If you have grub2 (ubuntu grub-pc...) open with geany a new file and copy as its content:
Code: Select all
#! /bin/sh -e
echo "Adding plpbt" >&2
cat << EOF
menuentry "plpbt" {
set root=(hdX,Y)
linux16 /boot/plpbt.bin
}
EOF
Code: Select all
cd /etc/grub.d
sudo chmod 755 12_plpbt
sudo update-grub
Plpbt booted in my case a logical partition in an external usb hd in which I installed a linux distribution with persistence by unetbootin. My bios refused to boot that partition.
