Issues with making EasyOS run (in a virtual machine)

[Rosika (Rosika Schreck)]

Thanks Neville,

@nevj

I think you mean you want to setup a loop mount.

Yes, the steps described above seem to do just that. What I actually wanted to achieve is creating a virtual “disk” … a device that´s listed in the form of /dev/sdg…

@nevj

and it enables you to boot from an .iso file on HD, so you dont have to write it to a usb drive.

That would be the goal. Right.

@nevj

You can write a 40_custom file for grub, to tell it to boot from a loop mount.

Ah, I see. I´ll have to investigate further. Thanks for helping me.

@nevj

You might find it in that old post which was about missing /dev/loopx files

I think you have Gnome-disk-image-mounter in mind.
I´ll take a look at it.

Thanks so much and many greetings
Rosika
