Re: booting a Knoppix ISO from an ext2/3 HD partition (was: could I install Knoppix with debootstrap?)
My situation isn't exactly what you asked for, but I'll send this just
in case it helps.

If someone can successfully boot a Knoppix ISO from a hard drive

Well, I'm doing that from ReiserFS-partition, but I don't see any
reason why this wouldn't work for ext2/3 also.
This is the setup I'm using:
(NOTE: I'm using KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX in addition to the ISO)
/dev/hdb1 (ext2)
KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX
boot/grub/menu.lst
boot/grub/reiserfs_stage1_5
boot/grub/stage1
boot/grub/stage2
boot/isolinux/boot.cat
boot/isolinux/boot.msg
boot/isolinux/f2
boot/isolinux/f3
boot/isolinux/german.kbd
boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin
boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg
boot/isolinux/linux
boot/isolinux/logo.16
boot/isolinux/memtest
boot/isolinux/minirt.gz
knoppix.sh
/dev/hdb2 (ReiserFS)
KNOPPIX_V4.0.2CD-2005-09-23-EN.iso
CD.iso (symlink to KNOPPIX_V4.0.2CD-2005-09-23-EN.iso)
knoppix.img
===== menu.lst =====
default 0
timeout 300
title My Knoppix (+= myconf=scan)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/isolinux/linux ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us
apm=power-off vga=791 initrd=minirt.gz nomce quiet BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix
gmt lang=fi dma fromhd bootfrom=/dev/hdb2/CD.iso myconf=scan
initrd /boot/isolinux/minirt.gz
===== menu.lst =====
If you are interested about my setup, I can send more information.
( set -x
part=/mnt/hda1
find $part | xargs ls -lad
find $part -name 'menu.lst' | xargs tail +1
df -HTl $part
cat /proc/cmdline
uname -a
cat /etc/knoppix-version
) >& output.txt
You'd have to adjust part= to point to the partition containing the ISO.
I'm not quite sure how to apply this to my situation, as I'm using 2
partitions instead of one.
