Re: [Stupid Question] How can I boot my ISO/tar/ext2 image created with buildroot?

You'll need a bootloader of some sort (grub, lilo, etc.), and of course an
appropriate kernel. Beyond that, just create a normal ext2/3/4 filesystem
in a normal partition, and make sure the boot loader is in a partition
marked bootable (or the MBR).

I've discovered that the version of grub installed by buildroot has a little bug (actually is a patch that has some trouble) and when I try to install with Qemu and the key usb passed with -hda option I've got a segmentation fault on setup (hd0).
Now I'm trying with lilo.
