what is fromiso=/findiso= looking for?

[OSBuildX]

well, kinda odd situation as I got few iso's at same location and debian seems selects first iso it can find, mounting all partitions everytime instead of what is pointed to it. Why is hd-media mounting and searching through all "partitions" instead of what is given to it?

vmlinuz from hd-media 9.6 amd64.

Code: Select all

linux /vmlinuz fromiso=/dev/sda7/firmware-9.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso

seems to find debian.iso everytime.

Code: Select all

linux /vmlinuz findiso=/firmware-9.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso

seems to find /debian.iso located at /dev/sda2 everytime.

So, where am I going wrong?

Are you trying to boot from a iso?

I haven't tested debian, no need to, but maybe this will help as I have to test my builds, I use 40_custom

Code: Select all
