Grub 2 menu entry for Acronis True Image Linux-based recovery ISO
The Acronis True Image bootable ISO is Linux based, but doesn’t seem to be based on other, well known distros.
Inside the ISO, there are different files named dat01.dat
, dat02.dat
and so
on. In this case, dat10.dat
is the Linux kernel and dat11.dat
and
dat12.dat
are the initial ramdisks. There’s no problem loading them directly
from the ISO mounted as a loop, so we can just do as outlined in the snippet.
